How many drillings / combination guns are ejectors
Ihavent handled many combos / drillings, but all that I have seen are non ejectors. Are many ejectors? And if so are they ejectors for all the barrels?

49 looks and no comments - does any body have an ejector drilling - are they made?

I hear they exist, but I've never seen one, and I've seen A LOT of combo guns.

Yes, they do exist. I bought a 16x16/8x57jr at a Ohio Gun Collectors Show in early 1970's. Sold it for a good profit to an older gun collector from Charlotsville , VA. It was a nicely engraved box lock.The gun seemed a little heavy which I attributed to the ejectors.

On the topic of extractors, can someone tell me what is going on here:



It looks as if there is an ejector/second extractor Confused, below the extractor, that acts on the lower barrel only. The firearm is for sale here

I think it is extractor only, the bottom extending further than the top extractor so the shell is easier to grab and remove. I could be wrong though as I have never seen one quite like that.

Most extract all three shells at same time with no extra extended extractors, and I've never had an issue removing unfired or fired cases.

All drillings I have seen are extractor only.

That's exactly what it is... it raises the rifle cartridge slightly...

Thanks guys. I'd never seen anything like it either, perhaps it is a Ferlach embellishment seldom seen elswhere?

Sauer 3000s came this way starting in the 1950s. It was one of their selling features.

I have a 1955 3000 LUX drilling in 16/6.5X57R with the same type of set up.

Have seen this a set up for a non-rimmed cartridge.

I discovered last night I have a JPSauer from 1937 that is an ejector gun. It also has a silver plated frame. 16/ 16/8x57

I have a Winchester Model 101, 12ga/.30-06. The .30-06 barrel is ejector while the 12 ga barrel is extractor. Have had the gun in Africa where it has been used on guinea fowl, frankolin, and wart hogs. It has an accurate return-to-zero detatchable scope. Very useful and versatile firearm. Have also used it for caribou, deer, ducks, doves, etc.

I have a Franz Sodia 16 x 7x57R that has ejectors on both barrels. JJ at Chamlin just made me some scope rings for it.

My Merkel BBF 16/7x57R is an ejector model, and that is handy with the other set of 16/16 barrels.
