Default The ad said AH Fox 32” in bad shape, a “Super” find.

In Nov of 2020 Chris Dawe called and said there was a Fox 32” gun listed on a web classified with bad pictures for $250. He said it’s an absolute disaster, looks like an A grade and it had ejectors. I said sure as I was working on a couple project Fox guns and the parts were well worth it. A week later when he received the gun he called and said your not gonna believe this but it’s an HE and yes it’s is a disaster! After a good laugh and a week or so after he tore it apart he said we can save this gun. So the journey began with a “Super Rough Super Fox”!

Everything was pitted, loose, wood broke up and it smelled like it had been dropped in the swamp a few times per Chris. Positives, Ball grip, 32”, barrels are THICK walled so can work all the rust off. It was never a priority as it was so rough, Chris just picked away here and there and things are now getting close. A few pictures below of the project progress but I am in need of some help. I need a close up picture of an HE receiver from all 4 sides for the engraver. Everything had to come off. Text to me would be wonderful so I can easily pass them on.

All the best
Brian
