Choke Markings Fox Shotgun
I have a Stevens/Fox, Model B, side-by-side shotgun in 20 ga. I see no markings anywhere to indicate chokes for both barrels. I measured the right barrel (fires first) at about .612 which would make this a cylinder bore. The left barrel seems to be improved. I know the what the chokes are but I'm curious about markings on the gun to indicate what they are.

Look on the barrel under the fore stock.
Standard chokes for a Fox B were Modified/Improved Cylinder on the 26" barrels. Your .612" barrel is Improved Cylinder.

Here's some more info for you.
http://www.chuckhawks.com/fox_B_shotguns.htm Kinda wish I had a Savage fox in 20 gauge with single trigger. Not sure they made it that way but I get a kick out of using my Savage Fox 12 gauge with single trigger. But it can be overkill on some birds. |

Blindstitch, FITASC,
My gun has a single trigger with ejectors and with a vent rib but the rib is very low between the barrels. You can tell it is a vent rib. I thought I read where .612 is the I.D. of a cylinder choke but, as I tell my friends, I operate under two rules. Rule one is, I'm always right. Rule two is, if I'm wrong, see rule one. |
