Thanks again to everyone for all the info. Like I said, I didn't want to learn anything the hard way with this gun. Following all your tips, the gun went together very easily. This is a different animal for a guy like me, though and I still have a few more questions with respect to the ejectors. It seems like they ride pretty hard against the frame face. Does that cause wear over an extended period of time? Metal on metal, seems like one part or the other would have to show wear. Okay, now here's the question that only a guy who has never owned a "double" could ask. After the ejectors have fired, now they're sticking out. "Protruded", for you fancier types. How do you reload without the new shell being flush with the barrel breech? Does it all just cam down together as the gun is closed? Last question, for storage, with the gun assembled and hammers released, is there pressure on the ejectors that causes anysort of negative effect? Thanks again for the help,

Pete
