Daveo26 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Just picked up a single barrel Baikal It's got a lever poking out of the bottom of the action, I recall from my youth this should be an ejector switch? Seems to make no difference what position it's in, the gun only extracts So if it's not what I think what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdom Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Folds it I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 It's to open it, I believe, and does nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveo26 Posted July 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 The gun does not fold and it's not the lever that opens the gun, It's another smaller lever I'm certain it's todo with the ejection mechanism but I can get it to do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I've got a 20 bore and the only lever on mine is kind of next to/ part of the trigger gaurd. It cocks the action and opens the action. If you look at the extractor you would be able to see if it is an ejector or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a non ejector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebarrels Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 If you open the gun it will eject the cartridge fired or not. Flick the small lever your referring to before breaking the gun and it will stop the ejector mechanism ejecting an unfired cartridge,BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebarrels Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 But as you say if it's not stopping the unfired cartridge ejecting,it's either broken or disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveo26 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 It's not ejecting ever. Regardless of lever position It's broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
