I picked up this A grade ejector Syracuse Arms CO gun at auction. It seems to have an unmodified triggerplate with one centered slot for a trigger. I figured somebody converted it to single trigger but now I am wondering if it wasnt a factory prototype to try and develop a SST. The selector is the knurled piece in front of the trigger. It slides front to rear to select the first barrel(The auctioneer thought it must rotate to select but that it was stuck , another reason not to force anything on a double gun). The This gun has no saftey and you can see where a rectangle plug was inserted into the slot for the saftey, much like the Remington 1894 Pigeon guns pictured in Semmers book. It can be seen on the bottom of the top tang but is very hard to make out looking from the top. I can see no filled slots in the triggerplate top or bottom so I think it was intended to be a ST gun from the start.

This gun also has very nice engraving and the top lever contour is awesome. The groove from between the breech balls extends back into the top lever on these early SAC guns but this one extends back into the screw head. Look at that detail. Also the front screw in the triggerplate is bigger on this gun than the other SAC guns I have and the screw heads have really nice engraving.

The treatment of the breechballs is nice and different as well. The "rib" that starts on the bottom and goes up to the standing breech is cool.

Does anybody have any info about SAC trying to develop a ST? Anybody seen a ST mechanism like this?
