Question on your problem. Do the ejectors work if you dry fire and gun and open the action? If they don't then I'd expect the ejector springs have been removed. Also FWIW, while not rare, ejectors in Sterlingworths are the not the norm. Only 10 percent of the Sterlingworths sold had ejectors. Just to confirm you have ejectors, does your gun have an escutcheon on the bottom on the forearm. Ejector guns did.
