Serlingworth question.
 

Hi all I just purchased a 12 ga sterling worth 30" barrels extractors 2 3/4" chambers chocked mod right barrel, full left barrel. The front trigger fires the left barrel, rear trigger fires right barrel. S/n 122257 guns in great shape locks tight sems to be all original except decelerated pad. Anyone have a serlingworth that fires the left barrel with the front trigger?

The occasional gun is found with triggers reversed like you describe and the theory is that a gun that was intended primarily for pass shooting may have been ordered that way.

Thanks dean. Can these triggers be reversed?

The gun could have been taken apart and put together incorrectly.

Brian do you mean you can reverse the triggers without any modifications?

Switching the triggers on a Fox is pretty easy. Take a look at the instructions for removing a stock posted on the Fox board best to read the instructions twice or until you feel comfortable. Stop when you get the trigger plate off. There is a small pin that secures the triggers to the trigger plate. Drive the pin out far enough to free the triggers but not all the way out of the trigger plate, switch the triggers making sure the trigger return springs are properly aligned, drive the pin back in and reassemble the gun. Make sure you have the correct screw drivers before you start, hollow ground are the best.

If you aren't used to doing these things take good pictures as you go so you can refer back to see how it fits back up.

Yes, the triggers can be switched without too much trouble. However, sometimes on fox guns, the triggers can bend inward at the top tabs for proper safety and sear operation. And sometimes they are straight. So, yours may have to be tweeked some for proper operation.

If your front trigger is on the left, then someone either assembled it incorrectly or wanted to fire the left barrel with the front trigger.

Thanks for the tips guys I reversed the triggers and test fired it and it works great.i really like how it shoots. I appreciate the help.

It is really pretty hard to screw up a Fox. It almost has to be intentional.

Good Shooting
