To set the record straight. King applied for an ejector patent in 1891 #470,157 but it was never put into production. The Parker ejectors that we are all familiar with was applied for around 1900. The first guns offered with ejectors were cataloged in 1902. Bruce's statement about guns made in the 1890's with ejectors is very true. Many guns went back for ejector retrofits.
