Ted, I saw it stated somewhere that Charlins have ejectors. Mine has a classic, one-piece extractor which "appears" to miraculously produce selective ejection of fired casing while leaving unfired shell in the chamber. The breech face is a forest of dead bolts, spring-loaded pins, and engaging hooks. Painfully clear that injun not understand firestick! What mechanism is producing selective ejection? Oddly, I also save hulls and find it quite easy to hold gun level and remove the hulls from the ways under the sliding breech (or dump them out by turning gun 90 degrees. No way it can throw em over one's shoulder as their path is inline with the breechwall. In addition I'm still working out a MO for that little pineapple safety in the field. Best I've come up with is safety turned to 6 o'clock (it will move past 9 viewed from left side of gun) so it protrudes below the bottom of action, index finger left on right side of trigger guard and middle finger crooked under guard to kick it back to 3 oclock off safe.
