So is this ejectors so complex because it is an assisted opener?it's a shame so much information is gone about the English trade I tried doing research on some mfg.of English guns and just hit a dead end good luck.mark
My hunch is simpler mechanisms were adopted because of ease of manufacture, simplicity and reliability . Like mentioned earlier, the Deeley box, southgate, bakers etc are much simpler to manufacture than this system or even a Perkes.
This system (The Ross) uses 4 total springs (two big V springs and 2 flat springs), and also has the complex rotary sears. The rotary sears themselves look like a real chore to manufacture and fit up. In addition to this system are two blades that are connected to the tumblers in the action that trip & cock the rotary sears. Whew.
The Osborne gun is not an assisted opener. This ejector system provides no means of mechanical assisted opening that I can see.
