My dad gave me his Fox 16 gauge in 1944, when I was 12 years old so that I could accompany him duck and goose hunting in our blind in the entrance to Powell's Creek on the Potomac River. I remember we shot only Kleanbore shotshells, because those were the only ones we could find at the time (during WWII), generally at the Quantico Marine Base PX. He shot his old Winchester 1912 duck gun for everything. I was a small kid, and that Win 1912 with its long duck barrel, I couldn't shoot, so he gave me his old Fox. I loved that gun and could shoot anything from turkeys on down with it.
