Default A.H. Fox 20 gauge 3”

I was told some of the Fox HE guns were 20 gauge 3” . Are there any other known correct Fox guns that are 20 gauge 3” ?

Only two (edit, should be three) 20-gauge HE-Grade Super-Fox production cards show 3-inch chambers. I went through a bit over the first 2000 graded 20-gauge production cards and found forty ordered for 3-inch shells and seven ordered for 2 7/8-inch shells. Could be more as the A.H. Fox Collectors Association, Inc. only has photocopies front of most production cards, so some could be marked as such on the back. The ones I found were in all barrel lengths, two 26-inch, nineteen 28-inch, nineteen 30-inch and seven 32-inch.

Remember, back in those times the long shells came with more/better wadding, not a heavier payload than was offered in the 2 3/4-inch 20-gauge shell.

No my 3" Fox 20 is 30". I do have a couple of 32" Fox 20s but they aren't 3" which is fine with me as I wouldn't put a 3" shell in any of my 20s if they had 3" chambers.

Well to be honest I'd rather have a Parker 20 32" on a 1 frame with a straight grip and 2 7/8" chambers thats choked kinda tight . My reason is two fold as I'd like a 32" 20 and I'd like a 20 3" for tower shoots . To say nothing of the fact that I have two nice new flats of Browning 20 gauge 3" #5's .
