20g Side by Side ENGLISH Boxlock None Ejector Shotgun from Arthur Isley.
OK, YES, a none ejector! Quite WHY everyone thinks they want or needs one confuses me.
Sat in a hide? Generally you set it up with a good background of a nice thick Holly or Hawthorne bush. Have a ‘red letter’ day and go through several boxes of cartridges. Get your 100 plus birds. FANTASTIC! A GREAT DAY! WELL DONE YOU! Then spend the next two hours trying to pick your cartridge cases up that have been ejecting so beautifully. ….Straight into that thick SPIKEY bush that hid you so well. Go home looking like you went three 10 minute rounds with two wildcats (4 or 2 legged variety) in a cloth sack.
A day on a driven shoot? Are you lucky enough to have that many birds coming over AND someone to gather up your mess after each drive? If so then an ejector MIGHT be justified. Even on walked up they are nothing more than a distraction!
Even shooting clays the vast majority of people call pull. They mount the gun. They take their shots. THEN they put their hand over the action as it breaks to stop the ejectors ejecting the spent cases! Pull the cases out and drop them into a bin or pocket.
27 1/16” (688mm) Fixed choke barrels at ¼ and ¾ . At the critical 14” mark they both measure up to 38,000 walls with everywhere else still good too. The concave sight rib is fully hand engraved with makers details are both action sides. There is also some very nice decoration there too. With a long 14 7/8” (378mm) well figured stock the overall length finishes at 43 ¾” (1112mm) and a LIGHT weight of 5 lbs 12 oz (2.608 Kg). It also features the ever classic tear drops and is reasonably well cast for a right handed shot. With quite a long stock this may well suit a taller shot straight off the shelf.
