Daryl,
The barrels are 26 ", ring ok and gun is very tight on face. Barrels uncut. I looked in Fox site to get more info on this gun. It's a 1937 20 ga and 26" barrels was a common config. 2 3/4 chambers. ser# 270633. Later model 20 ga gun. wood shows no cracks etc. finish is still good. I'm sorely tempted, just have to convince my son in law now.

Thanks Harold, I'll keep your offer in mind. First step is to inform my son in law that we're going in a different direction, then sell the Ithaca. The 20 Fox SW at the local gun shop isn't going anywhere soon. I too hunt with a 16 ga (VH) for upland and have most of my life except for ducks. Could never bring myself to take the VH out on open salt water. A 20 ga for my grandson is a nice gauge for him to start out with. And what better way to 'corrupt' is soul than to introduce him to the world of double guns!
