Ejectors — Shotguns

Browning over-and-under shotguns use an automatic ejector system to clear shells when you open the action. Fired shells are ejected from the chambers, while unfired shells are elevated for easy removal. 

• Firing: Firing the firearm stages the ejector mechanism for the specific barrel that fired. 
• Opening the breech: When you open the action, the forearm bracket engages the ejector extensions.
• Ejection: If the barrel was fired, a spring-loaded trip is released and the ejector forcefully throws the empty hull out of the chamber. 
• Extraction: If the barrel was not fired, the extractor raises the shell for easy removal.
