I have this gun passed down from my grandfather. it's a 16 gauge..really sweet gun

I bought my first Fox B when I was 23, I'm 74 now and still shoot them, I foolishly sold that first one but then replaced it with the Savage 550 12 gauge and converted it to double triggers so I could have instant choice of choke, also restocked it in quality Walnut with hand checkering, I'll pass this gun off to my son.

This is the gun I am honored to hunt with. My 97 year old grandma bought this very gun in 12 gauge for my late grandpap for Valentine's Day in 1954. I wouldn't trade it for an $18K Purdy.

My grandfather was given a fox 16 gauge before heading off to Korea in the 50's. It has been used and loved by my father, and I consider it a family heirloom. It was ued so much that the stock broke several years ago, which has since been fixed. Very nice, and rugged gun

Inherited one and that was my great grand dads - 16 gauge - fires like it’s new - my dad and I love it

I have a .410. Got it from the original owner who's wife was my babysitter. The gun used to stay in the corner of the back bedroom closet. I used to play with it when I was a little kid over 50 years ago.

I have the Savage Stevens model in 20 ga. made in 1929. It has two sets of barrels complete with forearms. One set is 28 inches full/mod and the other is 26 inches mod/imp. cyl.. It was given to me by my great uncle 40 yrs. ago. He bought it new. I grew up hunting squirrels and rabbits with this gun. Still have it. Still love it.

I inherited one of these from my father. He got it from his father in the mid 70s. It’s a well made and beautiful shotgun. It has been a wonderful clay bird gun, too. Durable, beautiful and reliable, I’m glad to have one in my possession.

I don't have the Fox B but I do have a Stevens 5100 that I picked up for sixty dollars. Been in a bag in a farm for twenty years. Bulged barrel at the end. Cut the barrel down and got a new butt stock and it's be absolutely wonderful. Thank you for the video, it made me decide to purchase the gun even though it was beat to hell.

Very nice job Sootch. I really appreciated the history lesson as well bud. Thanks for highlighting this fantastic "Oldie!"

I have a Fox model B in 16 gauge with the raised vented rib barrel. It is a very nice easy shooting pheasant gun. I like the 16 gauge even though a lot of people think its out dated.

I just picked one up with double trigger vented rib and magnum chambers in 12ga I absolutely love this gun

Very cool thanks for giving some SxS love. I have a savage/stevens model 311A. Its not pretty but was the work horse of my grand parents farm. I am honored to have it and its a good shooter but only once a year for love. I am the third generation with my SxS and will pass it on to my grandchild someday.

Double barrels are my favorite shotguns. I have a Stoeger Coachgun my grandma gave me...and it's my favorite gun.

Another great review. Thanks Sootch

Lovely Fox shotgun. Love those doubles. The pump took over for most buyers into hunting deer and such. Too bad Remington, Winchester & Colt no longer making doubles, especially 20" coach guns or longer. You always provide well done gun presentation's. Enjoy your knowledge, the back story of each gun your showcasing. Hang Tuff My Friend...👍

just picked up one to day love it already!! i think mine is a 40s era i fell in love with it 1st sight got it for a dang good deal! thanks for the vid !!

Ik this is old but if you still have it do you have a place to get a stock?

I just bought a Springfield double barrel, in 12 gauge. They were bought by Stevens in the early 20th Century. It looks similar to the Fox model. Cool shotgun.

Mighty fine shotgun you have there - one that harkens back to the legendary days of Nash Buckingham and Burt Becker :)

Missed this one...thanks sootch!

Great job sootch , keep the videos coming thanks

When I started to hunt with my mother both of us had Savage 311 12 Gage shotguns. I still have mine and love it to hunt with. I will have to say it is a little worn after 50 years of use.

Cool shotgun. Thanks for posting!

we've got the exact gun, can wait till it gets passed down to me! thanks for the review of the gun!

Nice shotgun.I wish more people these days would have guns like this,and less tactical firearms.

I have a Worthington 16 ga purchased at Michel hardware in Ashtabula , Ohio in 1940. Worthington was a hardware wholesales Co in Cleveland until approx 1950s. They would contract shotguns from various company's from time to time . Mine looks to be the same as your picture - I think it is a Stevens model made by Savage . I hunted rabbits and birds with it when it was new. It was misplaced in 1946 and found in a bedroom corner 1985 when my uncle died. It's in new condition and is a favorite of all my guns.

Pretty big bedroom?

The best article is from Dennis A. Wood it is called " Inexpensive Fixes For Savage/Stevens 311's found at gun reports. I purchased my parts from Numrich Gun Parts Numrich has a drawing for each model of Savage Fox Model B's. I replaced everything excluding the sears because they did not have them.

My first double gun was the 311, I loved that gun.

Super useful info! I've been trying to learn more about vintage side-by-side guns, but it's been hard to get real details on a per model basis. Things like the plastic cap on the grip and buttstock marking it as a 50's model for example. And the closeups of the engravings are very nice. Much obliged!

Just picked up a Springfield armory double barrel 12ga shotgun love it.

I had a Savage Fox 20 Guage as a kid. It was a single-trigger model. It is an OUTSTANDING shotgun.

Thank sir for your videos very good information god bless you and your family and protect you everywhere uou go

My grandfather said he’s giving me his dads fox gun my great grandfather pap’s double barrel model B he showed it to me this thanksgiving he’s giving it to me when he passes

I have an A.H Fox Sterlingworth made in 1914 and take it out a couple times a year for pheasant and chukars. It's in mint condition and is 102 years old this year. Very high quality American made double gun that no one in this country makes any more.

I've got a 1912 Sterlingworth, an early 12 gauge pin hinge model. Appears to have been refinished a few decades ago so the value is low but an excellent SxS! Lockup is tight and still shoots true, bust clays a few times a year.

I have a Savage Fox Model BST B-D, w/ 26" Vent Rib bbls, dbbl triggers in 20 Gauge. Mine has a wood stock and forearm. It is an excellent quail or grouse gun and I love to hunt with it. I'm in the process of replacing all the internal parts.

By my opinion double barrel side by side shotgun is very easy on the eye beside 1897 winchester pump shotgun, to make long story short,you can not go wrong with side by side shotgun,i would buy it with exposed hammers on ,gives me a goosebumps You mister are one bad ass,stay this way

Those old double barrels have taken out more than their fair share of Ducks and Turkey. I always find myself looking at those old double barrel stage coach, defense shotguns . The Big-5 near my house always has loads of them. It's definitely on my enormous list.

Excellent video as always, I loved your explanation and the history. I've never heard of the A.H Fox company, so I appreciate the increased knowledge. I could see the resemblance immediately to the Savage 311. Have you or anybody heard of the T Parker gun company?

my grandpa passed his Fox model B to me, and i love the character. it shoots nice too. downside is it wasbefore they used serial numbers, and its hard to date it

Nice video. I inherited my gun from my grandfather which I never met. I don't know when the gun was purchased. It has the fox logo on both sides of the action & underneath it has a graphical pheasant scene in good detail. It also has a number 170 circled & stamped above the bottom graphic. I don't know what that means. Barrels are clean but unknown choke. Barrel doesn't tell the choke, just 2 3/4 chamber, 16 gauge. No threads for choke tubes. Stock has no splits just some scratches on it.

Nothing says "leave me alone" like a double barrel shotgun :)

Good video very informative.

I have three 16 gauge fox model b shotguns. 16 gauge is difficult to find. Usually I have to special order it or pick up some boxes at a gun show. From what I have seen the price of 16 gauge is usually about 15-20% higher in price than 12 gauge.

i have a 20 over and a 22 under old gun, i love it, good combo for rabbits, or big game

got one. a little rusted but nothing a gunsmith cant handle. i havent had the opportunity to fire it yet but im surely looking forward to it

nice shotgun,I can't believe the smoke at the end that was cool.

I thought I would add that side by sides are great for new shooters too because they are extremely easy to learn and intuitive to operate.

I have a Fox-Stallworth made in Philadelphia. I am old and have trouble giving it a good cleaning, would love to have it professionally restored.

good video sootch keep up the good work

It's nice to have an insight on a classic US take about shotguns. I'm writing from a Country wich became famous for its artisans and gunmakers, I don't know much about the American way, though.

I have one with 2 beads and single trigger. I am using it for the last 40years. In. Iraq hunting partridges. It is highly accurate gun. I bought too. Many shutguns. Sold them all and kept it. I never miss a flying partridge in corn fields. i changed 7 stocks. My fruend is a hunter gun smith with PHD mechanucal enginering from. England. he repaired ir several times made a stock that fits my shoulders. God bless Iraq.

That can’t be Sootch! This guy’s too young! 😄

my grandpaw gave me a stevens 22lr bolt when i was three years old, he has long since passed and i still own the gun today and it still shoots, i have no idea how old it is thought, if i were to guess i would say it was made in the mid 70s.

I apologize in advance but I own a model B from the 60s and it has ejectors not extractors like your demonstrated towards the end of the movie. Is that because you removed the springs or is that particular gun an extractor? Thank you

Him: Mmm, I love how the smoke comes out of the barrels... Reminds me of gun smoke. Me: REALLLLLY :P But great vid, well done :)

would you recommend a side by side for a beginner?

Great video

I just finished replacing all the internal parts on my Savage Fox Model B-D in 20 Gauge. I'm not an expert but if you need some advice on replacing them I can help you. The most difficult was installing the hammers. The rest is easy but tedious. I had only found two good articles on replacing the internals.

I bought my Fox Model B from "Western Auto" in 1972! I still have it and it is in absolute mint condition! I thoroughly enjoyed your video on sharing the history of this excellent valued side-by-side double barrel shotgun! :-) Mac Baker

Where would you find a rib for this gun. I shot it so much when I was younger that the rib sheared off the sights and now slides off when shot. Any ideas would be great

I had a b model fox that was used up. A dime would fall in. Did you hear about using a dime to check the diameter ? Also a good size ding in one barrel . Again I wish I had it .

I found one with 2 3/4inch too. No engraving on bottom & no plastic cap on the bottom of pistol grip. Trying to find out more about it.

Thanks!

I just bought one just like this for $275.00 and it is almost perfect cond. with the exception of the front sight pin needs replaced. The bluing and the wood are in ex cond. I wanted a 12 gag for some time. The wait was worth it.

i am really fond of the stevens model 311, tiwas great fun to shoot, i shot my first double barrel shotgun 2 days ago. i would really like to get a 311, or even a cheap old double barrel with external hammers.

My dad has this gun. I stripped, cleaned, and put back together all of it by myself a few months ago. and I cannot wait to fire it some time but my dad had thought that it would be pointless for trap. Would it?

Did I hear a little Grey Egg at the end? Great group.

@fireburst102 if ur an allowed pump. id recommend that for a beginner, if you want a double barrel, O/U's are a bit easier to manage then a SxS

my grandpa has hunted with this gun for as long as i can remember, i would love a .410 or 16 ga. in this gun for rabbit hunting.

they weren't required to have serial numbers till after 1968 it would be on the bottom of the frame ahead of the trigger guard if it has one.

@DatGrunt

+Rory Gibbons Is it right ahead of the trigger guard or...? Because mine doesn't have it. The only numbers it has are near the wooden hanguard and it says "17M" or something. A bit hard to tell. Is that it?

Great video! I had one and sold it . What was i thinking?

nice gun!

I could use some info, Im getting light strikes on the right side and one of the pins on the side of the trigger housing keeps working lose and after firing a few shell it wont break open with out a good whomp

My local gun store has one of these listed on their website for $300. Depending on the condition I just might have to buy it.

Any suggestion on what to do if after firing the first barrel (either one, mines a double trigger) the second firing pin strikes the firing cap low, like too low and soft to discharge the round. Any suggestion on how to fix? I've seen that it might need a new spring or just some internal corrections

Still has good bluing on the barrel and action. Some areas the blue came off. Checkering on stock is perfect. Lots of depth and detail. I'll probably do some light sanding and reblue all the metal. Also would like to light sand the stock and either stain it or rub it out. I don't know what choke it is. I plan on using it for rabbit, pheasant and gouse. Can you recommend me a good load for the game I'm using it for? Thanks and you have my sympathy on your grandfathers hunting accident.

My dad had a double barrel. the chokes were different, that's another option to consider.

was there a 20 g double FOX that was made in Spain??

is it bad as far as "barrel stress" goes to fire both barrels at the same time?

Looks like the Wards Hercules I use to have!

I have hammer on my Model B that need replacing...can you provide the articles you mentioned??

what does the dubbel trigger mean? can you fire the second shell with it?

@dsl100stack double barrels are great trap and skeet guns as long as you practice

I have a 16 gauge. And shortened the barrel to 20 inches. Why is this not good for home defense?

One trigger fires one barrel. So it needs two triggers too fire both rounds.

makes a good home defense gun when you really really need it.

Not bad if your into that style of gun I like a shorter barrel personally.

have scootch, I just picked one up, and it's my first double barrel. How do I field strip? I when i went to remove the fore grip it sounded like it was crack (after I removed the screw) any tips?

@J.Huff76

put the fucking screw back in the fore arm stock. All you have to do is grab the fore arm from the very top off it and pull down. Once that has been done push the top lever to breach the barrels and they will come right off.

It's time to replace parts. Numrich Gun Parts has the internal parts for the Fox Model B's. The pins on the side, which there are two, one is for the hammers and one is for the sears. If these are coming out they need replaced. Check with the above company they have drawings of all the Model B's. It will show you the layout of parts.

What's the shortest barrel you can get for the Fox Model B?

Remember the day you could ride around with a double barrel in you rear window an no one offers to steal it

I need an ejector for the same gun 12G...,can someone help me to find the part?

I have a model B series j. Trying to learn more about it.

I've brought two of them back in 1988 a20 ga. And 12 ga.paid 325 dollar's each new at a local gun shop

how about one on mossburgs new ar style 22lr. the 37202. thinking abot getting one

@ArtisanTony With the possible exception of a Remington 870 tactical.

I am a new CPL holder so forgive me if I ask a stupid question. I'm pretty new to all this lol Anyway I been looking for a double barrel shotgun to buy and I always liked the ones that look like this. The loooong barrel. But I can't seem to find any for sell thou. Do they make them new, with the long barrels like this anymore? need a name? thanks guys.

Your welcome. If you need any other advise let me know.

one reason i like shotguns is cause im right handed but i shoot left but im perpendicular when it comes to guns but i mostly shoot lefty for some reason but shotguns have allways been my favorite they have tons of different types of ammo and they way i see guns is that there not weapons its just another tool for hunting.
