Old research that came with gun states: "only 4 made in this configuration" ??
Excellent in as used and well cared for condition
Had restocked, with a blank that I found down at the old Fox factory, to more friendly dimensions of good old American Std 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 14 1/4 x 2 1/2" down pitch with spured BP(exc original stock with skel butt and gold grip cap in secure storage) Photos are of its getting one of many rubbed oil finishes. Sorry no current photos of finished gun and it is currently, down in safe and the old man is just thinking of venturing to the john on his new hip without the walker.

Now weighs 5 lbs - 5 oz and has become one of those 'no think' pointing sticks.
Only problem is: getting too old at 86 in April to do it justice.
But, I am still in the game with my (Wounded Warrior) track wheelchair.

Qualifies for W.O. Odem's; "Ain't no Flies on Dat Summa Bitch"

Enjoy!!
What a beautiful gun.
