Fox 20 gauge

I do not think there is anything wrong with Stevens 311/ Fox Model Bs. They are heavy though I examined a 16 ga 28'' barrel was 7lbs 8 oz.

I'll not be spending any money on a 311 or Savage Fox B .

In a perfect world I'd not own a side by side that was made after 1929 but then the World's certainly not perfect

Mr. Thompson
I was going to ask you in another thread what you thought of Ballard rifles as a BPCR. When I was young I went on a trip with my parents to Wyoming and ended up in a shop with a whole bunch of them do not remember much more I was only 13 I think.

I've sold a couple nice old Ballards over the last couple years and had my hands on several of the ones that were made by Steve Garbes company in recent years . I always liked the Ballards in the full regalia Schiyen schuetzen style and the same can certainly be said for the Stevens 44 1/2 guns in the Pope schuetzen style ! There's a company in Dingnans Ferry PA that's makes a quality reproduction of the Stevens 44 1/2 and the folks in Cody Wyoming last time I saw one made a very nice rendition of the Ballard . There's also a fellow in New York State named Romano that makes a very nice rendition of a Maynard single shot .

Yep must have been Cody. I dragged my parents and grandparents there to go the museum. They drug me out three hours later. We went on a trip to Montana and to visit where my grandpa was born in Thermopolis, Wy. Good luck on the sterlingworth sounds like a sweet gun. We will all want to see pictures if you get it of coarse.
