A short while back a fellow called MTCowboy(?) posted about a Fox HE he was gifted by a MT rancher. There were some sceptics but it's for real and the gun is in my shop being photographed and I will have it for about another hour. On the off chance that any one is watching, any specific photo requests?
I'll post some pix later.

This is a very interesting shotgun!
But First,a couple of items:
1) The gun is Not For Sale, please dont' try to contact cowboy or me about buying it! Several did when he first posted & pissed him off!
2) I didn't make a dime today, while I understand this is a hobby to most of you, I have watch my time in order to contribute to your hobby. I will probably do a column in Shooting Sportsman that will contain more info than I can post here.
Thanks for understanding!
A few facts: 12 ga., 32" barrels, 2 1/2" chambers as measured with 2 different chamber length gauges.The gun is in pretty good shape except for having spent time in a wet basement. The owner carefully remove the rust from the barrels without destroying the bluing. Lever to right, tight on face. The stock and forend have repairable cracks, and the wood is good except for having been cut-off for the abysmal recoil pad (wood length at 13 1/4") Drop: 1 5/8" X 2 5/8". very restorable, and deserving! The bore and chokes are very interesting and I'll post more on that later. (Yes, I double checked all those dimensions!)
Questions?
Best,
Steve

Steven,
this gun is the perfect "what if" gun, and you're a good "what if" guy, so here's the question: do you leave that gun "as is" or is it a perfect candidate for a restoration. if such a task was undertaken, how would it affect the monetary value of the gun?`
You realize, of course, this may turn into a pot-boiler on restoration ( at least I hope so).
thanks for the pictures, and your time.

Thanks for posting this. Hopefully the ol girl can be returned to service. There is always a place along side mine in my blind down on the Snake for Cowboy and his Super Fox

Were it mine, I'd reblue the barrels, repair the wood and do a light refresh/refinish on the wood with cleaned up checkering. If everything mechanical is in good order, I'd shoot it a lot.
