- ORIGINAL A.H. FOX SHOTGUN STOCKS AND FORENDS -
Semi-inlett buttstocks from original inletting machine: ALL BUTTSTOCKS ARE CURRENTLY SOLD OUT.
ORIGINAL FORENDS ARE STILL IN GOOD SUPPLY, SEE DETAILS BELOW.
- BUTTSTOCKS - Currently Sold Out: Had nearly 150 shaped and turned pistol grip American Black Walnut Buttstocks Blanks with no inletting (or now available as semi-inlet, below) - see photographs. Like the Forends, this wood also is many decades old, and these stocks are strong, dry, and will work well for any Boxlock or Sidelock shotgun and can be shaped to straight grip if desired. Straight grained Field Grade, these stocks are unique pieces of American Gunmaking history.
I was able to acquire Mitzie's old original A.H. Fox inletting machine. After setup and re-tooling with modern cutters and styluses, the stocks above can be cleanly semi-inlet on the tight/small end of the spectrum to accommodate any Graded or Sterlingworth A.H. Fox receiver. As an aside, all gauges of the Fox receivers and trigger plate dimensions pertaining to stock inletting dimensions are essentially the same with variations in width averaging .010" - .020" per side, or 1/32"+- overall.
This is not minimal tolerance inletting from a duplicating machine using a per-gun pattern; it is general A.H. Fox inletting from the old steel templates used to get you in the ballpark for any Fox receiver; this will be snug for most guns and leaves enough wood for quality work.
NOTE: If/When a FOX is being RESTOCKED it wise to replace the top tang screw and the trigger guard screw for a proper job. These two original screw heads will not fit a restock exactly the same as on the original buttstock; the timing, length and angles are never precisely the same on a new stock as compared to the original stock. These two new Factory original screws can be purchased with shipping for $37.
