Yes, ejectors or extractors. Even a cocking slide on a set of Fox barrels can change what we're looking to hear clearly, according to Dewey.

I do as Dewey suggests and hang them by the hook from a wire loop, then use a good sized wooden dowel to tap them all along their length, listening for a dullness in the resulting "ringing".

Best wishes with the 2E.
