Wo what's up with those Fox Sterlingworth's? There are 32 of them listed on GunsAmerica (I think some are double listed) and 14 of them are 16 ga.! Also, what's a "fluid compressed steel barrel"?

I just picked up a Marlin 90 in 16 ga. O/U. Bought it because I liked my Dad's old Marlin (J.C.Higgins) 90 in 12ga O/U. this gun is built on a 20 ga frame so it is fairly small and light. Have only test fired it so far, not hunted with it, but I think I will like it. Not as minute as my Franchi Falconet O/U in 20ga with an English grip, but close. Also, price was right. - simple $400 double trigger shotgun. I also use a Fox Sterlingworth in 16ga that is a favorite upland gun.

That's a bunch of 16ga SW's. Probably guys selling them because they found out how much they're worth. They've probably doubled in value over the last 5-7 years.

Fluid compressed steel . . . you'll see lots of strange terms for steel on old American doubles. But with Foxes, you don't really need to worry. They're the only one of the old American classics (outside of the Model 21, which was a real late-comer) never made with Damascus barrels.

Fluid compressed Steel? Now I'm perplexed! If its fluid, how do you get it to stay on the gun? Rolling Eyes

It sounds like another of those oxymorons like jumbo shrimp. (as opposed to a run of the mill moron.)

I think Fluid Compressed was Fox's way to embelish and dramitize "forged".

Fluid Steel Barrels is kinda common terminology, to describe any barrel that is NOT Damascus. Fox probably put the compressed in there to make people think they were stronger than Parkers. Laughing
