Question for the sterlingworth guys

[Researcher]

I've got 12-gauge 30-inch barrel Sterlingworths from a fraction of an ounce over 7 pounds to nearly 8 pounds. Weights of 1/2 frame Parker doubles are all over the map, from quite light to fully optioned long barrel trap guns around 8 pounds. Got to judge each gun on its own merits.

[Big D]

My 30" 12 ga. Sterlingworth , with a replacement 15 1/2 " stock, weighs 7#, 8 oz.

[Phil Yearout]

My Sterly 20ga w/28" barrels weighs a smidge under 6lbs; the 16ga ejector w/28" barrels and a Hawkins pad weighs 6lbs-8oz. and the 12ga w/28" barrels weighs 7lbs-4oz. Just for reference.

[Blind Dog]

16ga, 28" bbls., 1" twixt pins (0 frame) Sterly.

[Dean Romig]

Fred, does that gun have a ton of drop or is it just me?

[Phil Yearout]

What does "1" twixt pins" and "0 frame" mean? Never seen anything like that in reference to a Fox.

[John Taddeo]

I don't know about any of that , but I sure like what that scale reads. It reads "Grouse hunt all day"

[Blind Dog]

More than three inches DAH. Have to mount it to the jaw bone rather than the cheek bone. The firing pins are separated by one inch, analogous to the Parker 0 frame. Guess the Fox guys would simply call it a 16 on a 20 frame.

[Brent Francis]

Think I read somewhere fox always used the same frame on the 20 and 16 ga sterlingworths

[Autumn Daze]

Correct Brent.
