Default A.H. Fox A grade passed up

I always wanted an A-grade but I ended up passing this one up. I want to know what you guys think of the stock on it. It looks like a c grade stock to me but this is an a grade gun. I also think the barrels may have been cut but am not sure.

I don't know what the asking price was but personally I think you did well to pass it up. The stock looks like it should be re inletted, the barrels look terrible on the outside and I agree the barrels look to have been cut.

I am sure that the stocks on my a grade are original and they do not have checkered side pannels. Also something about the shape of the but stock look a little odd. You dont say what gauge it is But if your collecting instead of shooting you should pass. If you are looking for a shooter and it is cheep enough than it might be worth consideration.

Looks like added checkering to a non original stock.

I agree with Wayne. I am sitting here looking at my A grade in 12 ga. and there is no checkering on the side panels and the checkering along the pistol grip is also very different in layout as well as checkering. The forearm looks exactly as mine.

The wood to metal fit is horrible

The gun is a 12 gauge with 30'' barrels and ejectors. Forgot to mention. The asking price is $1500.
