Craig,
For the uninformed among us could describe the differences in C's styles one, two, etc. Thanks, Larry

If anyone has a spare copy of the Double Gun Journal Volume Twenty-Six, Issue 2 I am interested in purchasing it. If you do, please contact me by PM, thanks.

I have found a copy, thanks,

Steve I think you can get a copy from DJ as they have most of the back issues in stock. Can't hurt to give them a call.

Larry: I wrote an article describing the differences in Fox C grades in the summer edition of the DGJ page 110.
Daryl I am not sure about your B coming from the Harris collection.

Craig,
Unfortunately I don't receive DGJ anymore but in looking at my early (14851) CE 12x26 I see a couple of differences. One is the shape of the safety switch and the other being style and layout of the engraving. There could be more but I don't have enough experience with the brand. The CE Steve has shown here is a great gun with really nice engraving.

Steve, as we talked before you bought this gun, and to compound on what Craig wrote, Billy Harris knew guns and if one came to live with him it was top notch. He was a good judge of character too, which I'll leave for a private conversation. Congratulations!

I really enjoy the Fox guns...I have been wanting a 16ga. C or CE that has good tight chokes and modern stock dimensions. That said its a scarce gun to find indeed!, and pricy too!! I have had the CE Fox that is at the Cabela's store in WV in my hands three times or more, Its really nice gun but has ton of drop...3" at the heal. I would need it re-stocked and the asking price is still way high...I think. SXS Ohio
