There was such a gun at several evolutions of the gun show at the Expomart east of Richmond in the years before I left the Old Dominion 23 years ago. Like you bill, I'm sure I have the serial number on a scrap of paper somewhere.

Craig,

Do they have an accurate count of HE’s? 12 gauge and 20 gauge?

Thank you sir for the Fox data!

Brian

The records are very incomplete for chamber.

An HE 28” gun with 3” chambers I’d find quite interesting for some unexplained reason . Kinda like a DH 3 frame 28” I had possession of for a couple years although it wasn’t 3” .

Here are a few more pics. Thursday morning she'll be heading out to a goose hunt in a pea field. I don't have a bore mic available to me except with a friend 4 hours drive away so I'll be taking some large 4'x4' cardboard sheets with me scouting this evening and a handful of 2 3/4" light field load #4 shot to see what kind of patterns I get and to test fire it to make sure all is in order.
In one of the pics I laid it along side my NID4E for a size comparison. That receiver makes my NID look like a 20ga frame next to this lovely beast!
