OWD It was an auction house - they can't go through all the guns they sell without charging a considerable amount for their services.

`The Baker Ejector explained ` is on page 5 in Gunsmithing & Technical section of `The Vintage Gun Journal` produced by Diggory Hadoke online.
A worthwhile read for the OP and anyone else interested !

Yes. The extractor legs are compressing the ejector springs when the gun is closed. Also pushing the forend away from the knuckle. I think a careful shortening of the extractor legs will solve the issue. NO ,no no .Thats the last thing you need to do .Shortening will create more problems in so much the ejector s will not cock . A nice gun, but it looks as if the extractors are not sitting flush with the rear face of the barrels when at rest, and thus press against the bottom of the breech face when the bolt is drawn back.
A minor timing issue? Yes. The extractor legs are compressing the ejector springs when the gun is closed. Also pushing the forend away from the knuckle. I think a careful shortening of the extractor legs will solve the issue. can you help me understand what you mean by "extractors?" This is an ejector gun. There is an issue with the fit of the fore-end wood to the metal - but that's there whether the fore-end is on the gun or off. I'll have to look at some of the other English BLEs I have down there to see if the forends are similar. The extractors are the pieces that lift the cases out of the chambers . The ejectorts is the mechanism that drives the extractors to throw the cases out .

Dustin and Graham have given you enough of a warning to understand that this isn’t going to be a successful guessing game and not to take a dremel tool to any of the bits inside this old gun. Seeing how the action sits with the lever open makes me wonder if the ejectors are in time, or, if they try to eject when the gun hasn’t been fired? Shortening anything isn’t going to fix what might be honest wear or past bodgering the gun may have suffered.
Might be very wise to enlist the services of a good gunsmith at this point. Which, will likely add significantly to the final cost of the gun.
So it goes at auctions.
Best,
Ted

Best,
Ted Yep. I'll consider it. We don't have all that much in the gun to start with, it's certainly a viable path.
