Hey everyone,
Some of the Canadian members may have already seen this gun (Canvasback and ChrisDawe I am looking at you) as I am "Sharps" on CGN.
Anywho, it's a C.G. Bonehill in 12 gauge. The gun is between 1904-1921 based on proofs, but there are no visible serial numbers on the outside. When I took the forend iron out of the wood it is stamped B1077 on the ejector box.
This leads me to my question;
This gun ejects both barrels, they are properly timed and everything so no worries there. The problem is the left barrel is very weak, only causing a snap cap to "hop" about 2 inches in the chamber, whereas the other launches a snap cap about 3 feet out.
I am thinking this is just a tired spring but I wanted to make sure with the experts on here before I proceed any further. They appear to be every so slightly modified Westley Richards style ejectors and not the weird older Bonehill ones. I am thinking since this is a higher grade gun they did that...?
If it is just a spring, what is the best course of action for replacement? There is a good video on Youtube from MidwayUSA about these ejectors.They also have a good video about replacing an ejector spring on a Remington 1900. Should I just follow these?
Thanks and best,
Fox
