Some of the best Parker gunsmiths I know won’t work on the ejectors, if that tells you anything.

They can be quirky.

When trying to diagnose what is going on, it is best to remove the wood and you can see the operation of most of the parts and you can see what is going on.

Like trying to diagnose a bad-running Jaguar.

Well yeah the right barrel ejects pretty well but the left is kinda weak it kicks the shell up but not out all the way but with snap caps it kicked the left but not the right at the gun store but when I got home and tried it again with snap caps it kicked both out. But with shells it kicks the right barrel out but the left only jumps up i assume the springs are weak. I called Darlington gun works on the way home and they are 4 to 6 weeks out as of today at 12pm.

I took one ejector gun apart. Let's just say it will be my last. You have an extracto-ejaculator. Shoot it as an ejector/extractor unless you're OK taking it apart and not having it to use if something happens.

I understand I was told by another gun smith that parker ejectors were a different animal but id prefer them to work as they should.

Darlington fixed the ejectors on my 20 gauge DHE. They quoted me 4 to 6 weeks but I had it back in 2 weeks. The work was excellent and the price reasonable.
