tetonkaEjectors not available on standard K-Gun. Only extractors for guns imported here.
Mike Young at Alamo Sproting Arms would know if
any were ever made. Early models offered single
triggers on big bores but that was stopped very early due to "doubling", a safety issue, single trigger still available on small bores I
think.

BiebsExtractors only, same as Blaser. The new Merkels are offering ejectors. I read somewhere that the manufacturers polling the PH community found that they didn't favor the ejectors...made too much noise when reloading, and a wounded animal could ascertain their position easier in the thick stuff.

These guys must be reading Taylor again, or believe their own press releases.

To my knowledge all the "Classic" line guns have extractors.
It was not an issue for me.
Had my .500 for about 14 years before selling it recently, the gun dumped empties with a roll quite easily after the initial break-in.
