Here are a couple of pictures of my YTD adds. Top gun is the GH 8ga that I have finished draw polishing and sending it off to Breck Gorman for barrel finish restoration. The barrels had gone brown which drives me nuts. So they will come back black and white. I can't stand ugly damascus barrels.
The bottom gun is my Special D (extractor) Fox 12ga 30" live bird-trap gun with a MC stock and 15" LOP. The engraving on this gun is unique as are more features. It has no grade stamp, no patient stamps, no factory card but it's 100% Fox. Fascinating gun.

Good to see a fellow who understands the value and versatility of 26" barrels.

That’s a good question. It’s between the 11 gauge and the CH, just because I was able to track down so much history.
