Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Your most used gun! non Winchester

GSPfan, nice collection of classic scatterguns!

Thanks. There my other weakness:)

I use a shotgun much more than a rifle. I rescued this one from the parts heap. The ejectors didn't work, it doubled, the insides were a mess, there was little to no finish on the receiver and it had been restocked horribly. It looked like they used a recycled telephone pole for the wood. It was a pistol grip gun but I prefer a straight grip so I had it restocked and the trigger guard lengthened and re engraved. I think it came out ok.

Pretty bad azzed A. H. Fox...

My most used non Winchester:



She's a pretty good shooter. I'm finally getting used to the 2 stage trigger...:

Thanks BSA she served well this fall in both the Grouse woods and South Georgia Quail. The same smith did the stock that did the rifles from the other thread.

One of these days I'll get some pics of my first full custom shotgun.

Beautiful shotgun buddy. I have an old Fox Sterlingworth that was made in 1910. It was my great grandfathers, passed down to my grandfather and then to me. My great grandfather was a left handed shooter (as am I) and this thing just feels so right. Not anywhere near as nice as your shotgun, but this one has a lot of sentimental value and has taken its share of upland birds along with many turkey:

Nothing wrong with that Fox. It's a beauty and I'm sure it's priceless to you. I have one also.

BSA your gun has family history and that's priceless to me. I have no family guns that were passed down except for a Winchester M1890 22 short but no one knows anything about it! Hopefully you will pas it on to the next generation of caretaker.

This one goes everywhere with me. 442 Chief Special. I bought it new when I transferred to narcotics; it's been with me daily, except for a couple of tours in Iraq with the USAR. This was how it looked when I bought quantities of rock cocaine in LA. It was usually in my right-rear pocket.



What it looks like now, in retirement. Grips are micarta


As far as sporting guns go, my most-used favorite (for now) is my semi-custom Ruger in .30-06:

10/22 Ruger AWC suppressed, it's my quiet farm pest controller.

I missed seeing this earlier. That Fox is givin' me a woody!

I have one of those too, but it doesn't have the "McSwirly" stock. Was using it today and racked up a pile of those bastids!

Once upon a time a thought worked it's way into my addled brain that while I have commissioned several rifles I had never done a shotgun. My favorite GSP Gunner was getting along in years so I decided to dedicate the project to him. I started with a Parker VH 20. It was a plain jane gun with a pistol grip. I made it into a straight grip and added a few other improvements. I call this Gunner's Gun and it's my all time no doubt about it favorite shotgun.

Here are a couple of pics of Gunner's gun doing what it does best.



Gunner's gun and I have taken Grouse, Woodcock, Pheasant and Quail together. Someday maybe we can do a Dove hunt together.
