Side by Side
Apart from one minor change, the side by side ejector has remained as originally designed in 1880.
It is a modified Southgate system and can be relied upon for synchronised and powerful ejection.
Over & Under
Essentially the same as the Woodward ejector of 1949, (the latest modification),
the system is renowned for its positive and strong ejection.

Only the best quality walnut is used for stocking Purdey guns.
The wood, sourced in Turkey, is chosen primarily for its strength and for the straightness of the grain through the head and hand sections of the stock.
Walnut has a seemingly infinite variation of colour, contrast and pattern.
With the importance of the stock to the overall look of the gun, Purdey strive to offer only what is the best choice available in the world today.
Customers are advised to take advantage of the option to choose their preferred wood from the extensive stocks at Purdey in South Audley Street.
Carrying the dimensions for cast, bend and length for proper fit to the individual our stockers orientate the stock in the blank to show the wood to its best advantage.
In “making off” (carving the final shape on to the stock), the classic Purdey stock shape is used and adapted to the customer's dimensions.
Once the stock is fully shaped, with the surface grain raised and then finely smoothed, the chequering is laid on and cut up by hand to 24 lines per inch.
Finally, before the butt end is shaped, the stocker will bore the stock out to give the optimum balance and weight to the gun.
