There's a way to disable ejectors on most designs. Usually involves doing something to the ejector hammer spring; clamping, removal, replacement with a weaker spring...and usually reversable. On a cheap Spanish SxS I removed them, and on a Citori I put in lighter springs.

Disable the ejectors by removing the ejector springs. Label and store the sprins so the ejectors can be enabled at a later date by reinstalling the springs. Depending on the ejector pattern, spring remval is between easy and somewhat difficult for the hobbiest gunsmith. Any serious gunsmith can do it easily. Doing so should save a bit of wear on the gun.

Does removing the ejector springs still lift the shell for extraction?

TC - Yes, the extractors do still lift the shells for extraction. The extractors are operated either by a "whack" from the ejector hammer or from bearing on a camming surface that will force them back and hold the back until the gun begins to close.

Very interesting section on ejectors in MM & DT's book, "Shotgun Technicana". Most that I've seen are like a regular lock, with a sear and hammer. The Southgate style, uses an "over the center" spring point to snap the hammer, no sear. Interesting stuff.

Good thread with good information........for those that ask quite often........
