Those two lower number guns were probably older guns that happened to be available for experimentation. There could be the odd ejector gun in order books previous to the ones I examined, but that is unlikely since the stock books for the period are available and are posted in the SB.

Interesting.... "My order book research" and "previous to the ones I examined" indicates you have examined several order book and possibly stock books too. Did one of our Research Chairmen allow you to examine those books?..... or was that from the time Remington Arms Co. granted permission to the PGCA to copy the books and you were part of that team? You've got a great memory for detail Bill... a phenomenal memory.
