Just wonderin?? Didn't the Fox shotguns use a barrel weight code stamping-- heavy vs. not so heavy struck barrel weights per gauge--
A Fox in any grade with 32" barrels (excepting the HE "Super Fox") 3" mag configuration has to be a rare find-- At least the "idiot" who reamed out the chokes on that 16- grade unknown-- didn't "hacksaw" the barrels off--
Some years ago, at a area gun show- I saw a nice Ithaca NID 3E in 20 gauge-- I asked the seller if I could handle it-- he OK'd that, and the muzzles looked "off" to my eyes, so I pulled out my pocket Stanley tape measure-- "Oh, no need, said the seller- those are 28" long barrels--" Being a firm believer in what Ronny Reagan once said about trust: "Trust is fine, but always cut the cards first!" I checked for myself- 26&5/8'-== NOT 28"-- Huumm, I said to him and I handed it back- must be time to get my Stanley tape measure rechecked-- seems to be off a tad-- World is full of shotgun "hacks"!
