The "Kimball" gun is one...there is a picture of it in Elliott's 2nd book. I wish the guy who owns it would show more pictures, but he never has, that I have seen. He was registered on the old Lefever forum but rarely said anything, and has not joined the new forum as far as I know.

Nick,
The Harrison Optimus was NOT an ejector gun. It was an extractor cocking-rod type action.
The two screws on the top side of the forend irons on guns of this era are for adjusting the contact point on the cocking rods.
