A. H. FOX DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUNS

“The Finest Gun in the World”

tradition continues

W

e have been manufacturing the Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company A.H. Fox Shotguns for over 10 years, and after many hundreds of guns, we are still excited about every single gun that we produce. Although we operate the most advanced tool machine equipment available to produce the gun, all of the fitting, shaping and physical hand chiseling of the steel to sculpture the frame is still done completely by hand, by extremely skilled gunmakers in our employ. We constantly receive correspondence from customers telling us about their hunting adventures with their Fox guns, which gives us great pleasure.

E

very gun is made individually and we pride ourselves on being able to custom tailor every gun for its owner; types of birds and animals on the engraving, checkering or any special requirement is available on every grade. We enjoy building these guns to the exact specifications for every situation.
