I purchased a new CSMC Fox about 16 years ago. I have carried the gun in the uplands about 10-15 days per year. The case colors are 20-30% gone.
I have a friend that had a early A Fox re-cased by Doug Turnbull 15 years ago and he has shot gun in the field moderately. I defy anyone to tell me that gun was re-colored---it's scary how original it appears. So I say use it and the brilliant colors will become muted before you know it. Craig
