Whitney Phoenix Survey
Yesterday at 9:26am
Print Post  
Hello all, long time lurker and new forum member. I am conducting a survey on Whitney Phoenix rifles and shotguns trying to find out exactly how many were manufactured. I have found differing accounts on the number made. Currently I have 62 firearms recorded with the highest serial being 6692. 

If any members here have a Phoenix I would like to add then to the survey. The information I am looking for is as follows:

-Serial number (If you do not feel comfortable listing this in the thread please PM me)
-Caliber
-Barrel Length
-Extractor Style (There are two styles, an extractor on the left of the barrel shank and one on the bottom)
-Stock style
-Barrel Shape
-Sight Configuration
-Other Interesting Information

I currently have two Phoenixes in my collection, one I picked up as just an action that I am slowly building into a 44-77 and the other in 38 RF.

Thank you,
Rafter

Mine is #1499 with the extractor on the bottom. It has been rebarreled to 40-60 Maynard (Krag) and restocked.

I have at least one in the works.  Serial #6244.  It was originally a 12ga and the muzzle when I got it resembled a blunderbus, the fella I got it from said that it was used for shooting fish, don't know any of the rest of the story.  I removed the barrel and right now it sports a Badger in 40 cal, chambered in 40-60 Win.  I made a new bottom extractor and that still needs a couple of finish cuts.

I have a Phoenix Schuetzen s/n 4965 in some .44 caliber. I also have a Creedmoor S/n 3191. I have seen a few others over the years, but no many

Thank you all for your information, I have added it to the list. TRowe do you happen to remember what caliber your Creedmoor is in? Also your Schuetzen is the first I have recorded in the 4000-5000 serial range. I also found the thread with the pictures and there are some very beautiful rifles on display there. I will attempt to take some photos of mine today and share with you all.
