We all recognize that most double gunners are a conservative lot. They are today and they certainly were in Edwardian England. Many shooters don't always want the latest innovation even though it may actually be a great improvement. Remember that from the 1880's through the early 1900's there were lots of different ejector systems that did not work all that well or reliably. Some buyers of Best Guns may have just been used to and preferred extractors. Even today many of us feel that ejectors in some guns from that era are not worth the trouble - just something else to go wrong. All this makes non-ejector sidelocks from top tier makers a really good buy in today's market. They cost a lot less and you don't give up that much in functionality.
