Another show,another gun.
 

I acquired another double at a local show this past weekend.It just seemed like a neat gun I wanted to try.Its an early A Grade Fox with 32 inch barrels both of which have .036 restriction,a single trigger,ejectors, no safety,straight stock with nice figure,original 2 5/8 chambers.The gun is tight and fits me perfectly.Stock has a minor Crack I need to address but that's about it.Should be fun on a sporting clay course this summer.Jeff.

That’s a great looking Fox! Whose single trigger is in the gun? Can you determine that?

I really don't know a thing about single triggers.This is the first double I have other than being a newer gun to have a single trigger.I take that back,I have an Ithaca super ten with a single trigger also.I could post a close up picture if that could help determine.

Couple pics of the trigger and missing safety.I wouldn't know if it came this way or was converted.The guy that had it said the trigger and ejectors worked good and I took his word for it.

mighty nice find....charlie

Really nice Jeff! I like and own a couple first year As myself. I'm really envious of that straight stock on your's!Good find!!

Oh single trigger , straight grip , tight chokes AND no safety that one would go to the pigeon ring :cheers:

I feel pretty confident that the gun started life with a safety and the single selective trigger and the butt stock are newer than the gun. An original no-safety Ansley H. Fox wouldn't have the word SAFE engraved on the tang, but a bit of engraving to mask the plug in the slot. You could get a copy of the production card, if the serial number is above 9648, if you are a member of the A.H. Fox Collectors Association, Inc.

Thanks for the compliments and the info.I think it's a really neat gun.I don't care at all if it's original.I have a few others that aren't either but they are neat guns and have taken a rooster or a duck or a goose or were fun to shoot at clay pigeons.I bought another newer A Grade from the same person a few years ago and enjoy shooting it.This guy had another nice A grade with 32 inch barrels and the rest all conventional but had refinished the stock and got really carried away with the sand paper.This gun has evidence of that also.He also had a neat grade 3 Fox also with 32 inch barrels but had cut the stock short and refinished it too.I passed up a Sterlingworth a couple years ago with straight stock and 32 inch barrels and have regretted it ever since and when I spotted this gun,and pulled it up and it fit great,it was going home with me.If something didn't work right I would get it fixed.I think it will be one of my favorite guns.The stock dims on this gun are 1 1/2 comb and 2 1/8 heel at 14 3/8 lop.

Has anyone identified that single trigger? I've seen a few Parkers with that selector slide.
