When i think of a sidelock i normally think of a gun of excellent quality fit and finish, with all the bells and whistles, made for the creme of shooting sports, eg driven pheasant or grouse shooting.
I was looking at a gun of good quality recently, british made, made around 1900-1910, one of a pair, lovely walnut, great fit and finish, and a non-ejector.
The non-ejector spec puzzled me, as i would have assumed anyone ordering a very expensive pair of guns would naturally have wanted ejectors. By the time the gun was made i would assume ejectors would have lost any reputation they might have had as being "new fangled" or unreliable long since.
Anyone any notions as to why a non-ejector ?
