Interesting pic with the two barrel flats. Frank, I'm no gunsmith, but I took a look at the ejectors. Seems like a pretty basic set up, at least out side the action. It appears that the main problem is that someone got carried away with greasing the hook. Gunk under the dog leg sear didn't allow it ...

Thanks, Frank. On the negative side I took it out for a few hours yesterday afternoon and got a few shots at passing Canada Geese. I missed, but found the right ejector isn't kicking out the shell.

The first gun is Serial # 35170 and is fitted with HE wood with PG cap and Jostam Pad (as recorded in the letter). The second gun is Serial # 134112 and is a later gun fi...
