I saw plenty of well used NIDs that are loose as a goose. Never a Fox. Arm chair pundits should look at how the Ithaca locking bolt makes point contact with the barerl extention. EZ to get wear and loosness. Compare with fuller camming contact of Fox locking bolt. Too bad Ithaca went out of doubled barrel gun business. By now they would have had one after another, after another, new and improved models. Same as they did before the NID. Fox design was done up in 1906 and had few changes and nothing major u8ntil last one was made 40 some years later. Joe, give it a break on that one pix of a cracked fox receiver thats floating around inter net. No one seems to know the details and what it was shot with,or if pix was staged. One example doesn't make a case closed story. Those jumping on this post please read title. Its about Sterlingwroth and Trojan. No one asked for comparison with Ithacas and Elzies.
