Another show,another gun.

[Dakota Jeff]

I joined the Fox Collectors yesterday and requested the build card.The card reads it wax shipped on 6/15, and by the serial number the gun should be a 1911,it originally had 30 inch barrels,ejectors,Kautzky trigger and straight stock with about identical dims as the current one.Ive been told it may have been used for that trigger development,which makes it an interesting gun.The best thing is of the many doubles I have,this one just fits great when I pull it up.Not many I have fit like that.Its going to be fun on the clay course and I'll bet it gets me a limit of Roosters next fall.Of the guns I have I can't really call any of them my favorite.Maybe this one will be it.Thanks for everyone's input and info.Jeff

I'm a former Fox Director and have copies of the Record Cards. Looked at yours last evening; maybe I missed it but I didn't see an entry for a Kautzky trigger - though it did show the Fox was shipped to Kautzky. Typically no entry for trigger means double triggers by default.

There also appears to be a stamped date on the card, AUG 11 19xx, but no matter how I've played with Brightness, Exposure & Contrast I can't read the year. That the year digits were overwritten with 6 oz makes it even worse.
