Those of you in attendance at the Southern SxS many have already handled this gun. For those who have not I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed working on this extensive project.

Project Gun:
Fox Sterlingworth ejector 12ga #3 weight 28in barrels

Project Details:
Extensive frame shaping, reshaped triggers, custom trigger guard, reshaped safety button, foreend rounded, Rib struck flat "pigeon style rib", bench made oval forend escutcheon, stocked to client's dimensions with English walnut, foreend one inch longer than factory. and a whole lot of polishing!

Finale weight of gun:
approx 6 3/4 lbs

I need to say a big thank you to Photographer Berle Cherney for taking the pictures of this gun http://berlecherney.com/ and also to Mr. Potter, Mr, Mann and Mr, Fewless for taking the time to discuses and evaluate this project with me at the southern. Your time, advice, and expertise was and is greatly appreciated.

This gun is currently awaiting Mr. Ken Hurst's fine engraving.

I can't wait to see the engraving. How do you plan to finish the frame - color case hardened, French gray, or blued?? Who stocked it?

Looks like top notch job. Keep on vastly improving those 'ole Sterlingworth ejectors as this will eventually make mine worth more.

Saw this beauty at the Southern. After handling it, Dan had to wipe the drool off and refinish the buttstock!
Nice work and a very desirable piece.

Congratulation on a fine piece of work.

It was a pleasure meeting you and your lovely bride, and I look forward to doing so again soon. Perhaps in Reno...?

I believe the client is leaning toward color case hardening for the finished look.
