I would try eBay as well. I see them listed for Sterlingworths all the time, and you might find an original. Also, search for fox guns on Gunbroker and look for the "other shotgun accessories & parts"" filter you can apply to the search. There looks to be several out there right now to fit a 20ga. An A Grade 20ga in a pawn shop is an awesome find, congrats on the gun. If you really want an original, put a posting over on the Fox Collectors Association page and see if somebody has an extra. Joining the AHFCA would give you a free card lookup, and you could find out the original length of your barrels as well.

Thanks for the reply. I know about the reproductions but would rather have an original if possible. Barrel lenth is not an issue. I am fairly certian they have been chopped. They measure 23 3/4".

Vintage gun grips
Would be a repro that needs to be fitted.

You can get a factory letter from the Savage historian on the gun for $75 or join the AH Fox collector's association and get a copy of the factory build card for the gun emailed to you. It could be the gun was ordered with 23-3/4" or more likely 24" barrels. Unlikely but it was adds much value if it was.
Make a dandy gun for shooting bob whites over pointing dogs. Best, Mike |

Mike I don't think I will fool with a factory letter.I probable try shooting the gun. I am in to large bores and if I don't like the 20 I will try to trade it for a 10ga. But thanks for the information.
