The Batavia Ejector, ca.1908-1911, could be had with Damascus or Fluid Steel barrels.






The Batavia Ejector did not use the sliding cocking bar or the pinned hook found on other Baker models. It was fitted with cocking rods through the frame that were acted on by rollers in the forend iron. A ledge milled into the frame tripped the ejector sears on opening only if the cocking rod is forward.





The standard top bolting was retained but a check hook was added to the barrel lug to keep the barrels from opening too far. This check hook also activates the extractors on an unfired chamber(s).




One other difference on this model is the forend attachment. The standard Baker J-hook has been replaced with a sliding roller latch. The forend barrel lug reflects this change.




Hope this has not been a bore,

John
