I own a Fox Sterlingworth and will be sending it to Darlington Gun Works to have Jim work his magic on it.
Clean-up the barrels and receiver, re-brown the barrels, and case color the receiver for a ... |

Long rant.
My 10 month Britt and I went out to the game farm. New to me Fox Sterlingworth in 16 ga.
Gunner pointed the bird and I kicked it out. Slight right-hander shot. Missed it with the ... |

So would it be better if you had a controlled burn-off of the older sage?
I noticed in Idaho that a few years after a burn the birds were more numerous.
I have never taken one, myself. Shot ... |

Not as nice a condition as my NID but ligh ... |

Yeah Ruff, Before I bought the NID, I stopped-in at my local pawn shop.
Walked out with an Ithaca Model 100 by SKB in 12 bore with 30 barrels.
So I can either use the NI ... |

Well........
I bought it!
Will have to send away for the letter on the history of the gun but the webs state somewhere around 1934 to 35.
It is lighter than the Ithaca NID. Feels better; alm ... |

Tomorrow I go to buy a 1935 Fox Sterlingworth in 16 bore.
I think my SOCD (Shotgun Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). may have kicked-in and messed with my perception of what is real and not.

Not trying to add to the stable, (Ghod, I have enough guns as it is!) But I want a light and fast swinging gun to use on Grouse. This gun will be a killer on anything less than Grouse.

Just starting out into the fun of a 16 bore, and need to reload all of these Herters empties. And Remington, and Winchester.
Need a press to do the job. Heard the 600 JR was the best bet. Now j ... |

Well,.....I still have a lot to learn. 9,9,13,and 14.
But it feels and swings better than the Zavasta. Problem is gun mount and cheek position. I think it will sort out with more practice.

Should be fun because the only 16 I had before was an abysmal Zavasta M75 that didn't fit. Best at tra ... |
