Seriously Dean that is a very nice gun. I have one in similar condition but w/o ejectors. Fox guns are built like tanks and the only weak point they have is there ejectors IMO. Now compare it side by side, no pun intended, with one of your 0 frame 20 Parkers or better yet a 00 frame 28. Therein you will see the beauty of the smallbore Fox frame. Enjoy.
I think I will check them beside each other - first the 0-frame 20 or 16 and then the 00-frame 28 bore.

You will be surprised at the results of the comparison. Let us know what you find.

You'd be surprised what a 20ga. Fox can do for your shooting prowess. Do yourself a favor and shoot the Sterly first before you measure the chokes.
