TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Cheaper to trade in the non ejector against an ejector, but anything is possible with enough money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Answer is technically Yes, but highly unlikely to be feasible economically. I don't know anyone who does it - simply because it would cost (far) more than any increase in value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyska Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Have you bought a beautiful non ejector thinking you'd 'be ok'? Like me 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Have you bought a beautiful non ejector thinking you'd 'be ok'? Like me If you have bought a beautiful non-ejector? Do not despair. Think upon the number of times that you need an ejector, its only in driven game shooting really, at other times be it clay pigeon or woodpigeon you are expected to pick up your fired shells. Inn those circumstances a non-ejector is not a handicap so enjoy. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kody Posted December 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I got my eye on a nice zabala 30 inched 3inch magnum heavily choked for high pigeon and and some duck Shooting its a non ejector I am use to an ejector But like you say I will only have to pick all the empties up so might just leave it as it is Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I was shooting clays with my SxS N/E this week. Compared with my ejecting O/U in reality it took no longer to recycle between pairs allowing for the fact that the empties had to be chucked into the bin. Perhaps with gloves on it may not have been so quick but I hate shooting in gloves, regardless of the weather. I did once see a bloke with a non extracting gun, now that was slow!

ditchman Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 in the old days ...1960's you could by penknives with claw extractors for either 12-16 bore cartridges that were paper and difficult to get out once fired.........

Gunman Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 The simple answer is yes if the gun is worth the conversion . It would need to be Boss Holland or Purdey or Westley Richards tom even think about it in practical and economic terms .The gun should also be proofed so it has to be in good enough condition to stand that .That said you would still need to find a gunsmith to do the work as it is not as straight forward as many think and loose the gun for 6 to nine months .I have done a couple in my time and I really would not do another .
