Technically, they are referred to as "body action" guns and not boxlocks. The FH models have baker ejectors which work well enough although they are not considered as reliable as the Southgate system.

This means the gun is older than the Westley Richards I purchase last year. It's great to have knowledgeable folks like yourself on this site. Dave
