Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Savage Arms purchased the A.H. Fox Company in November of 1929. They kept the A.H. Fox gun in production until America's entry into the Second World War, 1942 being the last year an A.H. Fox retail catalog appeared. After the end of the war a few A.H. Fox guns were sold from existing warehouse stock, and some were assembled from remaining parts on hand, but the era of the original A.H. Fox gun was basically over. However, back in the 1940's the Fox name had considerable market recognition, and in 1940 Savage capitalized on that by using the Fox name on a somewhat upscale version of their Stevens Model 311 side-by-side utility shotgun, which had been introduced in 1931. (Savage had purchased Stevens in 1920.) The resulting gun, named the Fox Model B was introduced at a MSRP of $25.75. It was to be a long lived model, remaining in the Savage line until rising manufacturing costs and the sale and reorganization of Savage Industries, Inc. (which became today's Savage Arms Company) caused it to be discontinued in 1988. The Model B was introduced in 12, 16, 20, and .410 bores. At some point in the early 1970's the 16 gauge was dropped, but the other three bores were available until the end. The usual barrel lengths were 30, 28, and 26 inches in 12 gauge and 28 and 26 inches in 16 and 20 gauge, although some guns with 24 inch barrels were sold. All .410 bore guns came with 26" barrels. Standard chokes for all but the .410 bore guns were Full and Modified in 28 and 30 inch barrels and Modified/Improved Cylinder in 26 and 24 inch barrels. .410 bore guns were choked Full/Full. Other standard choke combinations were furnished by special order at no extra charge, at least in the early years.
