And he shot darn well with it. As did Dean and I with Tool Man's Live Bird Gun!!
We are all going to church tomorrow for confessions.

I promised God that I would never again allow myself to be tempted by the Red Devil Fox.

Frank, I cant thank you enough for the use of that great Fox SBT. Shooting that event was one of the highlights of my weekend. That old girl with 42 points of choke will reach out and touch,em. Thanks again my friend

I saved that picture of Dave to my Pictures file and renamed it "Suponski in a Compromising Pose" :biglaugh:


Next year I think the rules should be changed to requiring Fox shooters to keep the hula-hoops rotating around their hips while shooting for score..... that should even the odds a bit. :cool:

Sorry Steve, That gun gave me that "warm fuzzy feeling" and ya know what that means:whistle:

Tool Boy- I don't think that's possible. He had such a good time.
He might like his steady girl better, but he isn't gonna forget the dance he had last weekend with his buddies girlfriend.

I have come to the conclusion that this whole thing is to much fun and therefore to maximize the fun in the allotted time possible I will begin the hunt for a graded Fox gun 12ga, 30 or 32 inch barrels & preferably with a straight grip:duck:

I've had some questions on my Fox J Grade SBT gun that's in the pic with Dave. She has some history. Record card shows shipment in the early 1920's to George A Emmons, a shooter of some note at Washington DC and MD area clubs. I've been told that Mr Emmons shot with gents like the then Col Billy Mitchell, early advocate of military air power. The Fox was found in about 2009 with a bunch of vintage military rifles at an old shop in Maryland; and it had been rather crudely converted from the original half-grip configuration to a straight grip with narrow wrist. Trigger guard tang had been straightened for that work.

I bought her at a show in CT after missing it in the back of a rack, and then getting a heads up by friends Steve and Paul. I had the original stock reverted to half-grip style by Craig Libhart of Susquehanna Stockworks. Craig spliced a piece of matching Turkish onto the toe line of the stock, checkered the new wrist, and installed a NOS Hawkins pad. Stock now measures 1-5/8 by 1-7/8 by 14-1/2" LOP. Metalwork is all original with loads of bluing wear from shooting but lever is way right and the barrel is still tight as a tick on the breech face. 32-incher with double ivories and 42 points of choke. This one and a couple of other Fox SBT's I've studied and measured has a "tight" chamber similar to the earlier Super-Fox guns, undoubtedly to center the shell for a good repeatable start to the shot charge. Bore is bright as a mirror and doesn't vary more than 1/2 thou in diameter along its entire run.

Not much to look at as compared to a high condition SBT, but over the years she's sure been in some good hands at neat places. And she'll still turn clays to diesel smoke when I do my part. All told, I'm honored to let friends like Steve, Paul, Dave, etc shoot her. :)

I'll take a rip at it: Time for a dosage increase on the Flomax?????? :nono:

[Dave Suponski]

Just thought it would be cheaper for Frank to ship it to southern CT rather than central CT. :whistle:
