Semi-annual wipe down event
Twice a year I go through the safes and pull out every gun to check it and give it a good wipe down. Sometimes I come across guns I'd forgotten about. I'll post a few here.
The first is one of my favorite Foxes: a two barrel C grade, made in 1913, with some of the nicest wood I've ever seen (the card notes the request to get choice wood, okayed by the boss). 30" and 26" barrels are a perfect tandem in my opinion (if you're going to have two sets of barrels, make 'em different!). The A&F case has all original "accoutrements." This gun has taken Missouri pheasants and quail and, with the short barrels, at least one Minnesota grouse.
