No flack from here Tom. I'll admit I was a Parker snob for many years and still love the guns from Meriden but the 20 gauge Foxes as well as many of the 12's I have are in a class by themselves. From my 32/12 B PAC gun to my all time favorite my 30" 20 SW they are in a class all by themselves as far as handling. I just wish I had jumped on the Fox train much earlier.

It would be interesting to compare the barrel wall thickness of the tubes.

I have thought of that, but unfortunately I do not have the equipment to do it.
