Mr. Hixie, snap the internal hammers on a Trojan all you want. It won't damage them.

Allowing ejectors to trip without any resistance against them (e.g., spent shells; holding your thumb or fingers against them) is THE primary cause of the tiny square ejector stop plate blowing out. Once this occurs it can become a major repair project and is almost without exception a VERY expensive proposition. The rebated milling cut in the end of the rib extension that holds the plate in place with its accompanying tiny screw usually must be recut and a new or replacement plate fabricated and fit. If (God forbid!) these are lost in the field as a result of the 'blowout', it becomes even more of a nightmare. I know of a gorgeous BHE 16 ga. that suffered this fate, with the actual ejector being lost in the field as well. Worst of all was a super-rare DHE 28 ga. that had a badgered repair job on the installation of a replacement stop plate and was never mechanically right again. Beware!!

I once bought an orphan set of Peerless Steel 20 gauge barrels that had had a very poor repair of the same issue, among other ham-handed shade tree gun smithing butcheries. I returned them immediately. I pity the guy who finally got stuck with this set.
