Mac:

He says "double rifles which had been re-barrelled to fire more obtainable calibres", which means rimless ammo. He's describing precisely what I've experienced numerous times with rimless doubles. The pawl slips over the rim when the gun is opened leaving the spent cartridge unextracted, and yes, simply closing the gun and opening it again sometimes does the trick.

You're right, if the rifle is chambered for a flanged shell, and the shell doesn't want to extract, the gun won't open. However, if it's chambered for a rimless shell and the pawl slips over the rim, the gun CAN open without extraction. A friend had a Westley boxlock in 9.3X62 rimless that did this about 50% of the time.
