Two rivet appearing pieces of steel have been inserted into the water table. The barrel flats show wear from the rivets. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/conten...erarchyId=11657Best, Mike
I am glad to be here.

Mike the "rivets" have something to do with the ejectors. All the ejector Flues that I have seen have them.

Come to think of it none of my Flues have ejectors. Interesting and thanks.

Are you certain that these have something to do with the ejectors? I'd always presumed they were shock absorbers to cushion the action as it closes.
And I had a Fluesie with ejectors, and it had these "rivets".

And Cabela's spelled it "Ithica" not "Ithaca" at least they got Emil Flues name spelled correctly. What next from the "House of C"- a Remmington 870- The Fluesie was developed in the black powder period-Now the NID model that replaced it-that is a fine shotgun indeed. Always wondered about those "snail ear" cocking indicators on the first series NIDs however. RWTF

They are spring loaded. I think they are barrel opener assists.

The Ithaca guns were smokeless compatable prior to the Flues.
According to "The Ithaca Gun Company - From the Beginning" by Walter Snyder:
The Lewis model (1901 - 1906) was introduced "to accommodate the new powders".
Followed by the Minier model (1906 - 1908), followed by the Flues model (1908 - 1926).
It's a fine book.
Offered FWIW.

Part of the ejector mechanism trip rod in the receiver. You can see the end of the trip rods on the face of the action knuckle. Spring loaded with a small coil spring.
