Galazan's /AH Fox first made the little .22 DR back around 2005.
It started as a personal project of one of the shop gunsmiths Lucas Geiger (sp?) who is from Austria and gunsmith trained there.
I believe he has since left the employment of Galazans.

Lucas's first gun was even smaller but he had some issues with the springs being so small that ejection ( and perhaps misfire ) problems resulted.
So he up-sized it just a small amt to take care of that and the result is what you see as far as frame size.

The gun was not intended to be a product line gun, just a something he decided to make on his own and on his own time.
His knowledge, skill and training more than allowed for it. He had showed me a Kipplauf he had built as part of his apprenticeship. An absolutely beautiful rifle.

The little .22rf DR was such a hit, Galazan's decided, with Lucas's permission to make the gun on spec order as a part of the AH Fox/Galazan offerings

A handful were usually completed on 'speculation' each yr for the LV Gun SHow and they sold quickly each yr.

They also added a similar size Winchester 21 DR in .22rf caliber to the line.
Both remained popular toys for those that could afford what they wanted.

The guns are made in house in NewBritain,Ct. CNC and the most modern methods of mfg are used.

Early production AH Fox shotguns were 8620 steel, investment cast, finished machined and then hand fitted.
This was starting in the early 90's when the company was first started.
Sometime later they dropped the investment casting & switched over to CNC machined frames and parts from billets. Still using 8620 steel alloy.
The small DR's have all been machined out using CNC. None were investment cast parts.
