My Fox A grade 20ga has the snap off forend; I don’t know what years they were made that way.

The snap on Kremer designed forend was used from about 1912 to 1915 on the graded Fox small bores.

In the graded 20-gauge guns I've recorded snap-on/-off forearms through about the first 700. In graded 16-gauge guns I haven't recorded any guns in the 3005xx and 3006xx range and by the 3007xx range I see Deeley latches. Actually 300590 has a Deeley latch but it has been so completely CSMC'd that I don't count it.

Not to say I haven't recorded a handful of Deeley latches in these ranges.
