[QUOTE=keavin nelson;290178]This is an early Phil Arms Fox. The gap between barrel extension and action slot would appear to be because the end was removed from barrel extension.
I don't think it compromises lock up which is very solid, and the Krupp barrels are in excellent shape, but interested in other thoughts. Also method to close the gap/repair it?
Presuming it is a Fox "hinge pin" gun??
The
only reason I can think of for that gap that makes any sense to me, is the barrels were replaced with a later set of barrels from a gun with a different frame configuration.
Remedy?.... weld material on the end of it and shape it to fit.
