Blackpowder Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 On another site dedicated to S X S guns which seems to have mainly American members there seems to be a rise in popularity of S X S guns. In the States there seems to be quite a bit of diy gunsmithing with people discussing renovating inexpensive s x s guns which would be consigned to the the scrap heap over here. Having said that seeing some photos of really nice guns, the best of course being British made but some nice work from France , Belgium and Germany also.

Centrepin Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 I have an American SBS. Fox model B, made by the Savage Arms corporation. Non ejector, single trigger. Apparently they make the best and most reliable single trigger SBS. Very robust and sturdy gun, quite heavy too at 7 1/2lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two Parker Bros. a 12 bore "Trojan" model. And a 16 bore VH grade. I love shooting the 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcgunner Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 The Fox model b is not a true AH Fox. It is a sturdy but very plain Steven's model 311 re-profiled to look like a real Fox gun. This was done by the stevens company after purchasing the AH Fox Name. To complicate things further Stevens now takes CSMCs Rbl model re-profiled like a real Fox and sells it as An" A "grade. The RBL is a good gun but again not a true Fox. Ironically CSMC actually makes true AH Fox guns per custom order but they are priced as you would expect a bespoke gun to cost. I began shooting with a model b and it kindled a love of SXS shotguns . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
