It is more likely that an ejector addition would include (under some circumstances), a net set of barrels as well as a forend because of the difficulty of installing the ejector stop on the extractor barrels. No one ever accused PB of being smart with a buck.

That would surprise me Bill because a new set of barrels retailed for half the price of a gun and when my GH went back in 1913 the ejector retrofit was only $25. The rib extension (doll's head) could easily be removed and replaced with one made for ejectors.

The frame had to be mounted in a jig and drilled for the push-rods and the forend iron had to be replaced with the forend iron with the ejector mechanism. A new set of barrels to complete the procedure of making an ejector gun out of an extractor gun would have pushed the price up to that of a new gun in most cases.

Not saying it never happened but...

Good points, Dean.
