Double Barrel

Made by Pedro Gorosabel, Eibar. Terry Weiland in his book "Spanish Best" states they were maker of boxlock and sidelocks, active into the 1970's.
I think 27" barrels.
It should be fine for rough shooting and woodcock.
How is it choked?

I have a Pedro Gorosabel 27" barrels sidelock ejectors silver sabel delux, same thing.

I got mine second hand from the markings it was made in 1983. It is a great gun wouldn't part with it for the world, I think mine is half and 3 quarter choked,nice light fast gun.

Who would you recommend to get a repair job done on the ejectors Doube Barrell?

What"s up with the ejectors? Are they working as extractors?

Had to disable the ejectors, extractors are working. I dropped the gun when cleaning basically and damaged the gun.

It is more than likely that your gun has southgate ejectors, (most Eibar guns do) which is a friction fit system, a good double gun smith should be able to take care of you.
Just out of curiosity check the forend loop to see if it is loose.

I don't know what you mean by forend loop, but if its the forend you mean it isn't loose.

Basically what I have is a broken extractor/ejector cam, basically this part is located in the fore end and when the gun is broken the extractors turn on a cam and which push into 2 rods on the bottom of the barrel which causes the gun to eject the fired cartridges and recock the firing pins.

Good.

The loop is brazed to the barrels, it is where the forend attaches to the barrels to secure the forend in position.. If the forend is loose the mechanism housed in the forend do not engage the action mechanism properly resulting in ejector malfunction.

Just wondering can ya post a pic of your sabel also how do you change the ejectors to extractors

Here is a few photos of the gun. The ejector springs along with the cams in the forend had to be removed to disable the ejectors.
