Those barrels must be replacement barrels. A gun in that serial number range would have started life with Krupp barrels, but I see the D with a three-lobed crown over it mark on the bottom of the tubes, not the --FLUID-STEEL-KRUPP-ESSEN-- we would expect to see.

They sure are replacement barrels,these are a lot newer than the gun.Ive got another first Gen A Grade with Krupp barrels.That gun is all original and very nice shape,but boring,this gun is interesting.

Numbers match from receiver to barrels and forend iron,and measuring chambers with galazan gauge they appear shorter than 2 3/4 which looks factory stamped on the barrels.I wonder how many times this thing has been in the shop.I have my old high school car yet,it's had 3 motors,3 rearends and 4 different 4 speeds put in it since I've owned it but it runs pretty good yet too.Pretty sure this is the most pictures I've ever taken of one of my guns.

I wasn't "picking the gun apart." Just stating my observations. A straight grip gun with 32-inch 1-weight barrels is quite popular in today's market.

We're all good.Without stating a dollar amount I've only got in it what a remington 1100 20 gauge is worth.You don't see many 32 inch foxes in my area, other than the 2 others the guy had that I bought this one from.He had the stocks sanded down so the receiver was proud about 1/8 of an inch on both the others.If it wouldn't have been for that they would have all come home with me.Ill have a lot of fun with this one.Jeff

Willing to bet that's a Kautzky single trigger. My Parker had one on it that the selector looked just like the one on your fox

Charlie, it's a 67 Chevy Impala with a built up 327 and factory 4 speed,custom paint,very few parts original kind of like some guns I have but it sure is fun to cruise in.John, I received some info from another that it is indeed a Kautzky trigger and this gun is quite possibly one that Kautzky experimented with.
