"Selective Ejectors" on the Repo's.

[esetter - Gerry Addison]

Beretta 471's have the switch under the forend that allows you to choose extractors or ejectors. Like several others have said on the Parkers, it is extractors or ejectors.

Page 128 of The Parker Story:

"SELECTIVE AUTOMATIC EJECTORS (SAEs) The idea of SAEs for a double-barreled cartridge gun originated in England, apparently, because Murcotts 1871 patent not only describes a hammerless gun, but his design also features automatic ejectors"

From Gough Thomas's Shotgun and Cartridges for Game and Clays 1975, page 31:

"The mechanism is in duplicate - one set for each barrel - and is therefore fully selective: it operates only if the gun has been fired; and if one barrel only has been discharged then it ejects only the appropriate case."

Besides, beating a dead horse is one of my hobbies.

I had to shoot a horse once. I beatings stopped afterward.

Thanks, you Guys are great !,
I was afraid that was what I was going to hear and was just checking to see if I was missing something ! Man-O-Man it would be nice for me be able to turn ejectors on or off, so to speak, would be handy on the Skeet range and such, But Oh well. I guess I will just have to live with the way it is, Not a big deal, and can't have everything, I guess !
CHEERS,

Joe,
Just a guess, but I would bet a great gunsmith could modify an ejector forend with a switch to cutoff the ejectors. That would be a cool feature. Someone the like Bachelder, Dan May, etc. might be willing to take on a project like that.

Some years ago I had a Red Label whose owner's manual described a simple process to enable/disable the ejectors. Later Red Label manuals don't include that information.
