One word comes to mind Brian: Masterpiece.

Each artist displays the apex of his talents in that gun. And I couldn't help but notice the tiny 'talons' cut into the triggers' blades. No stone was left unturned in that project.

Wait a minute... did I say that about a Fox?

It was a fun project for me with not too many bumps in the road. Next up is a 32" 16 gauge VH 1 frame. It is not in the book and lost its originality years ago through poor ownership. I am looking forward to its transformation.

Haaaaaaa, we all knew it would only be a matter of time. No worries Dean-O, umteen pillars of Parkerdom have crumbled long before you! I gather fondling that Super Fox was like rubbing your hands on the genie's lamp???

Hey Stevie.... Can you imagine if that HE had been my very first Fox???

You would never hear the end of it

Heck, with THAT much choke it could even be a contender for the Bo-Whoop trophy...

She was retrieving sticks I threw into the Shawsheen River today. She likes the water just fine.
