ENGRAVER
 
Someone had a gun engraved by someone in Wis. and it looked great. I need a little engraving done and I am near Wis. Can someone please tell me who that was? Thank you in advance. Frank :bowdown:

Bob Strosin engraved Gunner's gun as well. You can do a forum search as mark Ouellette took the pictures I don't have them to post. I highly recommend Bob and will be having do a Fox project in the near future.

Tom I assume your gun is a sterlingworth with ejectors. My next project will be on a Fox SW as well. I'll be doing a 12ga set up for target shooting and from the looks of your forearm it's a beavertail. If that's is the case I'd love to see some more pics of it as I would like a small BTF on my gun as well.

It is actually an extractor gun. 20 gauge Sterly with 26" barrels, skeleton buttplate, semi-beavertail. Dan Rossiter (the guy who did it all) believes that having an escutcheon even on an extractor gun provides additional strength to the forearm wood/metal when one removes the forearm. More then one sterlingworth has had the screws pull out of an oil soaked sterlingworth forearm when removing forearm to take the gun apart. It of course allowed another area for Bob Strosin to do some of his engraving.

The gun weighs 5 lbs 14 oz and is choked .004 and .014. It is my dedicated Grouse/Woodcock gun. Here's a few more pics. PS. Walnut I supplied to Dan and it Circassian and ungodly dense:
