I am most certainly not the one to argue with Jerry or Bro. David, and have never had a post-1913 ejector Smith. The ejectors of my No. 2E, No. 0E and No. 00E did not 'fire' with removing the FE
IF I opened the gun to cock both the hammers and the ejectors prior to removing the FE.
Is this a post-1913 thing? and thanks!
