I understand that at some point Fox routinely lengthen and reproofed short chambered guns sent in for service. Is there any record on how many if any failed the reproof?

The service records are long gone. When we see obviously Philadelphia era guns with barrels marked Chicopee Falls we can be pretty sure that is what happened. Here on 12-gauge serial number 106 --



and 20-gauge 201808 --



Here is a 20-gauge that passed, 201403 --

Huh, we “can be pretty sure” a Chicopee barrel means failure at reproof? How about fellas who lost a barrel, blew up the end with a twig, mud or some thing lodged in the muzzle end, or fella just wants a second longer or shorter barrel?

You are right. There are other possibilities.
