I've looked at this gun many times. Love it's style, but is not a very practical gun from a shooting standpoint. This model, does not have a ejector rod. You would have to use a pencil or a stick to remove the spent cartridges. I agree, she's a beauty, but for that one reason, I have hesitated on purchasing this gun. Most Richards-Mason conversions had the black power loading lever removed, and a ejector rod installed, along with the loading gate and frame modifications necessary to load brass cartridges.
