Thanks Steve. That sculpting design was pretty much home grown by me using my imagination along with some graph and tracing paper. I had had another custom gun done (12 gauge Fox Sterly) that I call the Abby Gun named after my dearly departed Golden Retriever. That gun had quite a bit of shaping but nothing like this. I wanted something totally unique as compared to other Fox customs out there. Dan took my ideas and put the file to metal as they say. I was a bit concerned that it might be too radical in design, but Bob's engraving pulled it together to the point that I think it looks pretty nice.
Still deciding on the french grey or to keep it case colored. I think it will look really good either way. This thing is a tiny receiver. Fox 20's were little anyway and a bunch of metal was removed during the shaping. Gun weighs less then 6 lbs and a lot of that is due to the extremely dense Circassian walnut we used.
