Measured a set of A.H. Fox A-grade barrels today. The gun is a 12 bore made in 1929, Chromox 28" #4 wt.

The internal barrel dimensions were a bit tight at .725 in both tubes, and the chokes (the gun is listed as being Mod & Full) are Right bbl. .020 & Left bbl. at .045. The chokes measured approximately 3 3/4" long in both tubes.

Would like to know from some of the Fox afficianados here if these dimensions are "normal" for Fox guns.

My last A-grade, a 1910 with 30", #1 wt., Krupp barrels had chokes that measured .029 in both tubes and .729 internal dimensions. Chokes were the same 3 3/4" long in both barrels.

Dimensions vary but I would say that is about right.

Agree, Your about right. Usually the more open bore is a bit tighter then .020, but your right on with .045 in the left barrel. Choke length is about right also.

Dustin,

Any chance of giving us an accurate weight on those 28" #4 barrels?

I'll take them to the post office tomorrow and weigh them.

That would be above and beyond the call, Dustin. I'll let you off the hook!

Here in No. Virginia if I took barrels to the Post office I'd be locked up in jail the same day. Glad to see that isn't an issue in other places.

For anyone that needs a good scale for weighing barrels, guns, anything, here is a site that auctions them very cheap. I got one for $.99, shipping was close to $10.00. The weight compared to the U.S. Post Office is exactly the same. You can buy them in different weight classes. The one I have is for 50 pounds. Comes with battery use and AC adapter.

Also, I have no affiliation to this.

The weight of the 28" #4 wt. bbls. is.......... 3 pounds 3.1 ounces.

Thanks a bunch!
