That, and no mention of whether it is or is not a take-down as the forend would suggest.
Also, the safety has been shaped/swapped to clear the wonderful scope which was once atop those wonderful bases.

IMO, top dollar for a screwed-up gun. If left alone and original it would be a real beauty, but as it is, um, no...

I saw this rifle yesterday. It's in "good company":

It just makes you wonder what people are thinking when they do things like this.

There is a place for such bunglers in the eighth circle of Dantes Inferno. Horribile visu!

The Fraser looks like an Ejector but it doesn't say anything about it ?

Any comments ?

I don't know any details beyond what is in the ad. Having the rifle pulled out of the display case for a closer look means I would have to talk to one of the salesmen, which is something I try to avoid.

Have a look at the pictures - the extractor "rods" are clearly split but I can't see the face of the extractor and Fraser did some weird (and wonderful) things on actions so not 100% sure myself.

I can't see any typical ejector kickers on the action either.

Anyone have a Fraser to compare ?

Anyone else like to comment ?

IMO it has to be an ejector gun.
The kickers for the ejectors are plainly visible on the fore-end.
The split extractor/ejector rods also show where there is a point of contact for primary extraction, and a second point of contact for ejection.
Also in the photo showing the action in the open position, the extractor bodies are sitting in a position typical for a (cocked) ejector gun.
An extractor gun would (usually) have the extractor bodies raised much higher, and they would be sitting close to the breech face.

It's an ejector gun, but whether the ejectors still function correctly is anyones guess.
