Nov 2015 issue of The American Rifleman- Rick Hacker's semi-informative rehashing of many other fine write-ups on the beloved Elsies-has a few Fubars-page 83 top left graphs- following the ejectors introduced in 1895 on the A-3 ejector grade Smith, he writes that in 1904 the non-selective one trigger was introduced- not right there, Rickie--it was a selective single trigger- If I have my Houchins down pat- the 1930's with the skeet guns was the first series of non-selective single triggers, firing the right barrel first, then the left, at the command of the shooter- He also failed to mention the revised ejectors with the Lewis Patent, of May 1905, a designed unchanged for the next 45 odd years in production. And under the aegis of Gifford Simmons, the raised ventilated rib came into being about the same time the LONGRANGE model was introduced. All great developments for the best sidelock side-by-side shotgun ever built in America--
