Question
Is this an ejector gun? Could be, but pictures
would be helpful.
If you put in a snap cap (fired hull) and exercise the trigger
then what happens when you open the gun?
Thanks
Mike
Remington catalogs made no mention of ejectors being available for the Model 1889. The first catalog known to advertise the 1889 was the 1892 catalog and it does not mention ejectors being available for any grade, up to and including the Grade 7.
The first mention I can find reference to, of ejectors being offered by Remington on a double is the Model 1894, which, of course is a "hammerless" gun, unlike the Model 1889. In their October 1894 catalog Remington offers grades A.E., B.E., C.E., D.E. and E.E., all ejector models, in 10 and 12 gauge.
Kenneth, I will look closely at my 1889 tomorrow, or as soon as I have time, and see if I can help you figure this out.
All my best, SRH
