Or threaded in, cut off and filled and filed.

Regarding alterations to the rib extension, I’m sure Parker Bros. must have removed it either to replace it with one that had been machined with the two ejector travel grooves or to machine the original. Like you, I’m certain they were well adept at that process but I’ll have a look when I get the barrels back from Breck.

Dean and Edgar stated early in this thread that a factory letter would tell about a repair order to install ejectors in that 200,000 range gun. There will be no factory letter including a repair like that. Order book entries ended long before that gun was made. Stock books don't include repair orders. Of course, Dean and Edgar know that.

Yup Bill, that was an oversight on my part.

The gun in question is a rather late gun. It was likely made as an ejector gun and that is it. I cannot imagine that a gun that late would have been ordered without and then returned to have them added. And the physical evidence does not support it.

[Dean Romig]

Yup, probably just a simple omission on the factory data. It's a 1923 gun.
