Thanks, I can't wrap my head around carrying a gun in the grouse woods without a saftey and I do carry my gun loaded but open most of the time. I'd estimate that I fall at least once every 2 or 3 days trying to get in to flush. In Michigan less frequently but in New Hampshire it's inevitable.

So, if the action's open when you fall the only damage that can happen is to the gun.
I shot my first "Parkerized" grouse with a 16 ga. Damascus GHE with no safety. . .

I typically close the gun before I move in to flush.

What a great gun. I have 126,764 close to yours. Were ejectors available that early? I can't remember.

The gun does have ejectors and my uneducated eye could not see any signs that they were added. The forend iron does not match and is #200,000 +, which raised the question if the forend was switched in order to operate added ejectors. I'm really interested in what the research letter will contain about the gun's factory configuration.

The ejectors are factory work, either at the time of the original build or later. The letter should address it either way.

That's good to know. I remembered a thread re: aftermarket ejectors and the signs and indications of who may have done the work.
