Don,
I actually had those ejectors taken out years ago. They were actually Parker ejectors but installed by Lefever in NY in the early 50's. They didn't work, had never worked apparently, and the shells sat so low in the gun when you opened it that you had to keep a fingernail grown long to get them out. An old gunsmith over in Marble Hill, MO turned the gun back into an extractor for me. Maybe not a perfect job but it sure made it easier to unload the thing. It's been a long road with this one and I've still not seen the end. I should probably just sell it off for parts to end the pain once and for all. *laughs*
Tom,
We'll get together for sure, I'll give you a ring to set something up. Was sorry to hear about your father's passing, he was a grand old fella.
