Gemini Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 The No3 is a boxlock ejector and is really nothing more than a higher quality No4 from what I can see. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 No. 3 is a non ejector. Some Yeoman s/s were made with ejectors from 82 onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
