Default Came today...CSMC XE-spl-16 set

Here are some pictures of the much talked about shotgun. Its everything I hoped for!!! Lou out did himself and did it just a few days short of 8 months from day ordered till day delivered. Now that is service! The wood he picked is perfect for this gun and all 4 chokes are just as ordered. Richard Roy put some real time into the gun...top shelf work for sure. Enjoy the pics...(-: SXS Ohio

Default more pics of the XE

29" barrels 6lbs-5 1/2 oz 28" barrels 6lbs-4oz I had the gun stocked high and the pistol grip is more open. Its like a parker radius, the fox gun is much sharper. It was made to match my Parker repro stock dimensions. They did a perfect job, I shot the gun for P.O.I. and all looks good! We have a rooster hunt in the morning if its not pouring down rain. The birds have been out for a couple weeks and should be fun hunting. Will use the 29" barrels with .012 and .031 chokes Will post some pics of the hunt....thanks all SXS ohio

Really cool! Did original Foxes have skeleton steel butt plates or is that a CSMC touch? Very nice either way.

I do not know if Fox used them back in the day?? But I love Parker guns with skeleton but plates. I think its proper for a hi-grade gun. Its is eye candy for sure.....(-: SXS Ohio

There are others that know a whole lot more than I do about the original Philly-built A. H. Foxes, but I do know that there were a few that left the factory in Philadelphia with skeleton steel butt plates. See Tom Kidd's article in the DGJ Vol. 3 Issue 2 page 29 for one of them.
