I have my eye on a possible purchase of a Fox. I am not sure what grade it is. The watertable has an "A" stamped on it (A Grade ? ) The side of the receiver has Ansley H Fox. The barrels are Krupp Fluid Steel and in another location Philadelphia Pa. It is a double trigger with extractors and a significant amount of case colors left (70%). The barrels are in good condition with minimal if any pitting (maybe on small spot). The lock up is tight and release lever is still right of center. The LOP is 13.5" on front trigger to end of wood and 14.5" to end of pad. The checkering is a little worn but still well defined and the wood on the pistol grip is darker than the but stock (oil absorbtion?) The serial # is 13xxx The seller is asking $550. Is this a good buy or should I pass? Thanks for any help.

Buy it. That gun, as described, is a good find for the money.

I'd buy A grade Fox's all day long for that price. This of course is assuming there's nothing(hidden) that's wrong.

What gauge is it?, Not that it matters at that price...

It's got to be a 12-bore, as serial numbers 1-50,000 were reserved for graded 12-bore guns; and I see that the poster noted this gun being in the 13XXX range.

That a great deal assuming the barrels are fine on the inside. However if the gun truly has that much original case coloring I'd make the assumption the bore are in pretty decent shape as well. I'd be all over it like a bird on a June bug.

Sounds good,almost too good,two things you don't want to do.
Put where you are located,or post where the gun might be located until you have it in your hands.
Last time someone posted a deal to good to be true,a couple of the members here tried to head him off to by finding the seller before he did.

The choice of the nickname suggests the topic starter probably is from, or closely associated with, the former USSR. This, in turn, makes me wonder if the gun in question might actually be in Russia, or any other former USSR country. If such is the case, well, the equivalent of $550 is just about the sum I'd personally expect a gun like this to sell for.
