I like classic gun designs. I mainly collect revolvers, but I have a small (and growing) collection of shotguns. I have always wanted a Fox Sterlingworth. I finally found one at a price I couldn't pass up. It is well used but seems to be in good mechanical condition. It has 28" barrels with chokes that measure improved modified (guessing originally full). One of the things that drew me to this gun was the straight grip stock. I'm guessing it has been restocked, but since I've never had a straight grip stock it was appealing. There are a crack that will need repaired, but after that I look forward to shooting it. Anything I should look at before shooting it? Does anyone know who would have made the aftermarket stocks? It looks old. The forend number matches the rest of the gun, but I am guessing the wood was added later.
