Late model Fox Sterlingworth

[Harold Pickens]

Daryl, I too have 16 SW deluxe with the grip cap , but unfortunately the mid ivory bead was missing when I bought it (back in the mid '80'sfor $300).
I've shot alot of birds with that gun, but more often now carry a Savage SW16 that someone cut the barrels back too 26 1/2 and has a very nice replacement stock. I think I shoot it better. I have a late production SW20 that has 60% or better case colrs and a nicer than normal wood--it is definately a $1200 or better gun.

This gun was described as:

"Gun is tight as a drum. Stock was cut to 13 1/2 " and has a pachmayer recoil pad installed making the LOP a little more than 14 1/4 inches or so. The wood on the gun is good, no cracks, splits, chips etc. Metal work is good. Barrels ring ok. Checkering shows wear."

One respondent said "$1200 is way high for the gun you are describing" and another said "sounds like a thousand dollar gun at most" before we found out that it had its frame reblued.

I must be living in a different universe as I cannot find a 20-ga. Sterlingworth, Utica or Philly, in similar or better condition as the gun was initially described currently listed anywhere on the planet for $1200 or less. Where are they? Please supply a link, I'd like to take a look.

Greg, I'll have to PM you the info but bear in mind there are others who have expressed similar interest and will be contacting the dealer tomorrow.

[Wild Skies]

Thanks Allen, but wouldn't be interested in one with a blued frame.

[BRDHNTR]

Blueing can be removed easy enough.

Here's a SW 20 that doesn't need the blue removed

[BRDHNTR]

Nice! Is it a re-stocking? or is it original wood on that 20SW? Either way, It's very nice. In fact, I think I have room in my safe for that SW.

It's definately a restock, some of my rose creek walnut I put up years ago.

[BRDHNTR]

Well it looks terrific David. Who did the restocking?
