Default Fox HE 20 bore sold by CSMC

This was up last Thursday night and gone by 9 AM Friday. Gun appeared in great shape. Price: $7995, that's right, $7995!

Hard to believe an original 20b Super-Fox was advertised at that price, especially by CSMC who would know what it is.

Would anyone post the original ad? This is hard to believe.

I found the ad, the gun is high condition. This may be Tony's idea of a joke. A 20 in that condition would be a $20,000 gun.

If so, joke is partially on me. I immediately emailed them and said I'd take it and to call me first thing Friday for my payment instructions. Instead, "Rich" sent me a payment link. I needed more information about C/C instructions so I called immediately after getting email. He was on the phone, but the guy who I talked to, whose name I can't recall, said sorry, but he (other guy) had JUST sold it to somebody else! Needless to say, I was very upset, but what could I do?
I don't own any Foxes (yet) but I'm looking. This would have been a helluva start. I would have used it, and then left it to my son. i was NOT trying to make a quick buck.

It would be nice to see the ad. It's probably the suspect HE 20 that RIA sold a few weeks ago.

Yeah, what was the true story about that one? I kind of thought that one was real.

The one and only original HE 20 that i have had the opportunity to handle/buy was some 15 yrs. ago, and was for sale at about $24K, AIR.

It was mesmerizing, and handled great, very much unlike what so many armchair experts have said about the handling characteristics of them.
