Ejectors and Extractors


(Barrels with Ejectors)(Barrels with Extractors)
Ejectors - Fittings inset into the breech end of a pair of barrels of a break-open gun that kick out fired shells, while only raising unfired shells enough to be removed by hand.  Recognizable at a glance on the breech end of a double gun because the fitting is split in two---one ejector for each barrel.
Extractors A fitting inset into the breech end of a pair of barrels of a break-open gun.  When the gun is opened the extractor lifts the cartridges so they may be removed by hand.  Recognizable at a glance on the breech end of a double gun because the fitting is solid---one extractor taking care of both barrels together.
Southgate Ejector mechanism fitted to shotgun forend.
