Bonanza,

I read your post a day or so ago and have been pondering it.
I thought the work $ and time excessive and as Curl said
it doesn't seem to have made a difference to the Ejectors.

Re the Ejectors - you said they sometimes work, sometimes don't.

Let me explain why I am concenred re this.

I had a Manton SxS Shotgun in great condition - but the Ejectors
worked sometimes and sometimes didn't.

It turned out the "Kickers" on the front of the action were worn,
one in particular and to fix it would have been hard - and required Metal
build up and alot of time and mney

I eneded up selling the gun to a gunsmith when the opportunity arose
- he expressed interest in the gun !

Therefore I would be extremely wary not knowing why the Ejectors are
not working after so much work just in case they can't be fixed.

Hope this helps.
