Greg,
I think you are correct on the ejector issue. I don't drop the hammers on my guns before storage but if I did, whether on purpose or not, I ease the action open and use my fingers as resistance to the ejectors. A very wise collector friend of mind warned me of this 40 yrs. ago. He also told me that it was not necessary to drop the hammers on Parkers or on most guns. He was a collector of Civil War guns that he has found cocked after being stored for whose knows how long and they were just fine. By the way it was great meeting you at the UP shoot.
