That's a 336 Marlin design....top eject means a new design or the Winnie 94...........I might have to get one if it's put together better than some of the later 94s that came (snuck?) through QC the last several years....longhair1957 wrote:Here is an old model 472!!!!![]()

Maybe they bought the old Winchester plant machinery and are resurrecting the Win 94 and 92? Just speculating, I'm sort of confused why they would come out with top ejection as well. The cowboy market seems to be well covered, so unless they got a great deal on parts/tooling, it would seem to be folly.
Well done is better than well said.

After firing and when operating the under lever, the shell is extracted and ejected straight out the top of the action. Shells are generally ejected a short distance from the action, and depending on the exact attitude of the action (level, perpindular, etc.) they will fall to the right of the shooter, slightly to the rear. With no need for optic sights, there are no incumberances to impede the empty shell's trajectory from action to the ground. Top eject allows both sides of the receiver to have the same profile, maintaining a strength and stability not available in either side ejection or angled ejection type actions.homefront wrote:I still can't understand top eject.
