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
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.
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 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 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.
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 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.
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.
I have a Fox Model B that was my grandfathers. I was dry firing it one day, when I was a teenager, and the firing pin stuck and now the breech won't close. One day I'll get it cleaned and repaired.
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.
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.
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.
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 !!
I just came into a savage fox model b 16 gauge that’s in good condition.Only flaw is someone added a buttplate and some of the clear came off the wood around the edge of the stock. Looks exactly like the one you are showing.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
+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?
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 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.
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
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.
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!
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 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.
Larry Farris I just bought one today, I the barrel read the same on mine (2 and 3/4 inch) but I have some 00 buck in 3 inch that seats in just fine...is it too much pressure for the barrel? Why wouldn't it be ok to fire the larger rounds? Thanks!
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?
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...👍
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 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
I have a older model but it does have the auto safety but none of the markings on the barrel. It is a 20 ga double. Does this mean it is a "A" model? Can you tell me how to determine this?
Break it open and look under the left barrel on the frame. You should see a letter inside a circle. A=49 b=50 and so on. I just came by a "55" w a 24"barrel today. Stoked.
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.
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.
I can easily explain this to you... "Sootch is a moron" All these old savage double barrel shot guns were 2 3/4's. Plus he is trying to make a classic hunting gun into something tactical... Pure ignorance.
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
Hi Mr. How are you? I have a question for you. I bought a Stevens sxs 12 gauge. On the receiver side a dog image is engraved and shows a number 5100. All numbers match around the gun. Double bead sights and looks exactly like this one you are showing. Do you have any information on this shotgun, and is it safe to use modern loads, not talking about magnum loads or steel. Thanks for the videos you post.
+rome cottrell my shotgun works really fine. Grouping is good in distances around 30 meters. Going to hunt turkey invthe Thanks fall season. with it. wishing for a good season. Thanks for your comment.
it depends on condition. think of it as a old baseball card. they havent made a fox model in a very long time and the better and original condition they are in the higher it goes. but i say one in 50% condition will go for 400 bucks. and please dont buy one for self defense. these guns were great for duck hunting and other small game.
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.
I have a savage fox model b that is fully engraved receiver is entirely covered along with the barrells down about 4 inches. The receiver is not blued or heat treated, it is brightly silvered. The receiver has silver bird doges on both sides. The gun would have to be seen to fully see what i am talking. I have several pictures if anyone has any information.
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.
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.
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
nice! i use 24 gramms #7.5 shot for skeet/trap lately for the range. if you have single/double barrel or pump you would not having eny trouble, for semi-auto shotgun you would need to check few brands to see what works better, usually 32gramms (1 1/8 of ounch) works better in semi-autos.
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?
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.
hey I found one of these at a pawn shop here in my town, single trigger though (which I prefer) and fell in love with it immediately and they are asking $795 is this a good price or am I about to get screwed? (I was going to try and see if I can whittle him down to about $500 if possible)
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

I had a Savage Fox 20 Guage as a kid. It was a single-trigger model.
It is an OUTSTANDING shotgun.
I bought one years ago with the beaver tail forearm- awesome field gun
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?
Nice shotgun.I wish more people these days would have guns like this,and less tactical firearms.
Mighty fine shotgun you have there - one that harkens back to the legendary days of Nash Buckingham and Burt Becker :)

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.

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.

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.
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.

How did he find out?
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 a 16 gauge. And shortened the barrel to 20 inches. Why is this not good for home defense?
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 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.
Good video, but I don't think the Model B is chambered for 3" rounds. Mine is a 12ga. & is chambered for 2 3/4".
Ditto. I have a Savage Fox Model B in 12 guage and it's chambered for 2-3/4 inch.
Larry Farris I just bought one today, I the barrel read the same on mine (2 and 3/4 inch) but I have some 00 buck in 3 inch that seats in just fine...is it too much pressure for the barrel? Why wouldn't it be ok to fire the larger rounds? Thanks!

Nothing says "leave me alone" like a double barrel shotgun :)
My grandfather bought his first car in 1958 for $25, it was a 1939 chevy. $25 could buy a lot back then
$256.00 today
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
My first double gun was the 311, I loved that gun.
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 acquired a fox b model double barrel with only one trigger? Is it broken or do some of them only have one trigger?
I have a model B series j. Trying to learn more about it.
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
@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
we've got the exact gun, can wait till it gets passed down to me! thanks for the review of the gun!
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
I have a older model but it does have the auto safety but none of the markings on the barrel. It is a 20 ga double. Does this mean it is a "A" model? Can you tell me how to determine this?
Break it open and look under the left barrel on the frame. You should see a letter inside a circle. A=49 b=50 and so on. I just came by a "55" w a 24"barrel today. Stoked.
My dad had a double barrel. the chokes were different, that's another option to consider.
Is that a 12 Gauge?
16 gauge - I own one also
Jacob Miller - sorry i could be incorrect - mine differs slightly and it’s tough to tell from the video - could be 12
is it bad as far as "barrel stress" goes to fire both barrels at the same time?
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.
nice shotgun,I can't believe the smoke at the end that was cool.
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.
You said it can handle the 3 inch shells, but the barrels were stamped with 2 3/4 inch chamber. Could you explain this to me?
I can easily explain this to you... "Sootch is a moron" All these old savage double barrel shot guns were 2 3/4's. Plus he is trying to make a classic hunting gun into something tactical... Pure ignorance.
Thank you very much. All of the old doubles I've seen are marked 2 3/4 also. Thanks.
Mine has 3in Chamber stamped on the barrel
ditto
ditto mine has 2 3/4 and 3 inch stamped on the barrel
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
Thought they had ejectors?
Have a Fox Sterlingworth
2 1/2 inch Chambers made in 1929 before they sold out.
i have a 20 over and a 22 under old gun, i love it, good combo for rabbits, or big game
I have one of these my grandfather gave to me. How much is it worth? It's a 12 ga. but i thought it was a model G???
Hi Mr. How are you?
I have a question for you. I bought a Stevens sxs 12 gauge.
On the receiver side a dog image is engraved and shows a number 5100. All numbers match around the gun.
Double bead sights and looks exactly like this one you are showing.
Do you have any information on this shotgun, and is it safe to use modern loads, not talking about magnum loads or steel.
Thanks for the videos you post.
+m2101 your gun is just a higher quality stevens 311. i would take it to a gunsmith to see what loads to shoot
+rome cottrell my shotgun works really fine. Grouping is good in distances around 30 meters.
Going to hunt turkey invthe Thanks fall season. with it.
wishing for a good season. Thanks for your comment.
I'm looking to by this very shotgun, ad for $450.00 is that about right? Or should it be for less?
it depends on condition. think of it as a old baseball card. they havent made a fox model in a very long time and the better and original condition they are in the higher it goes. but i say one in 50% condition will go for 400 bucks. and please dont buy one for self defense. these guns were great for duck hunting and other small game.
I only paid $300 for mine & it's in pretty good shape.
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.
You can get new ones with Hammer 😎
i have a fox model b bst with the single gold plated trigger and vented barrel
I have a savage fox model b that is fully engraved receiver is entirely covered along with the barrells down about 4 inches. The receiver is not blued or heat treated, it is brightly silvered. The receiver has silver bird doges on both sides. The gun would have to be seen to fully see what i am talking. I have several pictures if anyone has any information.
One trigger fires one barrel. So it needs two triggers too fire both rounds.
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.
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.
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.
have you ever had a shotgun miss fire on you? mine miss fires sometimes do you no why that is?
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
Is there such thing as training loads versus defense loads for shotguns?
most people use as training loads skeet and trap shells in 7-9# shot in 24-28 gramms (7/8 ounch) becouse they are cheap and low recoil to shoot.
petros311 Thanks. :-) I just picked up my first box of #8 shot and I can't wait to fire it. :-)
nice! i use 24 gramms #7.5 shot for skeet/trap lately for the range. if you have single/double barrel or pump you would not having eny trouble, for semi-auto shotgun you would need to check few brands to see what works better, usually 32gramms (1 1/8 of ounch) works better in semi-autos.
petros311 I'll keep that in mind if I ever get a semi-auto shotgun. :-)
good! :)
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.
Do these guns have a serial #? Cant find one on mine
I have hammer on my Model B that need replacing...can you provide the articles you mentioned??
Thank sir for your videos very good information god bless you and your family and protect you everywhere uou go
What's the shortest barrel you can get for the Fox Model B?
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?
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.
Let me ask you when you aim your side bide side do you aim down the center
How can I get a stock and for arm for my double barrel 20 guage
hey I found one of these at a pawn shop here in my town, single trigger though (which I prefer) and fell in love with it immediately and they are asking $795 is this a good price or am I about to get screwed? (I was going to try and see if I can whittle him down to about $500 if possible)
@westisbest Sounds a little high , unless in pristine condition. Not high today (2020)
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! :-)
