Browning Citori over/under question....

[andersmg]

When you break down the barrell should the shells eject with enough force to "throw" them over your shoulder and onto the ground?

I have a friend who owns one and he said when you break it down you have to take the spent shells out by hand.

It is a twenty guage if that matters...

Thanks in advance!

My citori is 20+ years old but the ejectors work like a brand new one. Although I've never been around a large group of citoris at once and have only shot a couple in my time and I assumed all were equipped with auto ejectors. Sounds like your friend either has a weak spring somewhere or his model is infact a hand eject model.

Dear Anders:_______

Check out this copy of the Citori owners manual from the Browning website:

http://media.browning.com/pdf/om/citoriplusmanual.pdf

It basically says that Citoris have automatic ejectors that pitch the shells out. He may have a weak (...or broken...) spring somewhere. By the way, i thought they were adjustable -- either lifting the shells like your friends gun; or pitching them out like the manual says.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Leroy

Thanks for the quick response folks!

I knew some of you would have great info pertaining to this. I will pass the info along to my friend.

I'm pretty sure you can adjust the ejectors to be auto or manual. Some shooters prefer the manual. This is a common feature on many higher end skeet guns

I thought they ejected after firing (inertia ejector), but extracted if not fired.
