Eric,
Sorry you feel that way; and no, "poisoning" a thread is never my intent. I was merely responding to a question already being discussed by other posters. Nor do I harbor any ill will toward Tony or how he runs his business. I buy and use CSMC products frequently, and feel that we are fortunate to have a high quality double gun manufacturer in operation in the USA again. I have clearly stated my very limited observation of some of their pricing practices, and will not bother to repeat it again. As some folks apparently can't discuss a slightly opposing point of view without getting their feathers ruffled, I too am done with this thread. Sorry if anything I said somehow offended anyone.

Great back to guns. If this works what should appear is my quartette of CSMC Fox guns. I wanted one of each gauge. I hope Tony doesn't expand his offerings. I'm tapped out.
1. 410 Special
2. 28 FE Special
3. 16 DE Special
4. 20 DE
The 16 DE Special is the CSMC Catalog Gun.

Bob that is an excellent set of guns you have. I only have one of Tony's guns but it is a beauty and I have one AH Fox that is an upgraded Sterlingworth that's out getting a straight grip and a new stock. It's a 16 and will be Grouse ready this fall.

After owning and shooting the new CSMC Fox gun....I find them to be wonderful guns, made exactly like the originals. No one should look down there nose at these guns. Tony took no short cuts, they are flawless and made to perfection! I wish they offered a same quality hand made sterlingworth for about 10K !!! SXS ohio

I can't forget the CSMC "Early AE" Grade 20 gauge that Tony offered for sale at $9995.00 as I recall. I guess I should have bought it, but it was a 28" gun, not what I wanted to spend ten grand on.

Lou from CSMC called yesterday 8-18-15 He called to tell me that my Fox gun was in the white and ready for engraving. We went over all the particulars about the work.....Lou was very excited to tell me that Richard Roy was sitting in his office and asked if I would like Richard to engrave my XE-Special two barrel set and that he could take it with him! I told him....yes with a big smile! Turns out that Richard Roy is who engraved my 28ga. DE-Special that is pictured a few pages back in this thread. My new (special) made to order gun is on schedule and there is good chance that it will make the grouse woods and rooster hides this year! ......Oh HAPPY DAY!!! (-: SXS ohio

I hope it makes it for this season. Nothing like starting hunting season off with a new shotgun.

Kenny, that sounds like good progress on your new Fox.

Just by coincidence I was wringing out a Connecticut Fox 20-bore XE Special along with a 16 Nitro Special this morning, doing some practice for the Northern SxS at Rock Mtn. Guns were born about 65 years apart and both "Specials" worked just fine for what they are Fox is 26-incher choked IC/Mod, and the Ithaca is 28-inch and Cylinder/Mod. Cell phone pic; quality isn't the best but here ya go. Shell boxes are opposite the guns: Remingtons in the Fox and I'm using up some 2-1/2" RST's in the Nitro which is chambered 2-3/4"
