I definitely like my K-gun. What year was it made, ejector or extractor gun?

This is what I shoot and love it.

Me as well. Mine is a '98 model extractor gun. I like that this one has the original sights. Mine has the skeleton rear sight, which I like, but the fiber optic front bead was way too big for my taste. Luckily, the fiber insert slides out so I replaced it with a piece of fiber from a truglo gobble stopper now it's perfect! These guns, or at least mine, is extremely accurate. With the RMR on mine it is easily 100 yard gun, as long as I do my part. Also, not overly picky about ammo, I tried several different loads in mine and they were all suitably accurate for hunting. The ones it really likes though are lights out! GLWS.

I have only shot Hornady DGS in it and it shoots better than I can shoot it by far,no doubt they’re 100 yard rifles

I too have the skeletonized rear sight. It is much better especially if there was some close quarters shooting. I also detest the big fat front sight but have done nothing about it. I was afraid that since the dealer had no solutions for me that whatever I did could come loose in transit to Africa. I have the Kahles red dot and it is great. I had JJ Perodeau mill a groove in the rib for it to mount so there is no visible damage to the gun for this sight. Like you mention it is easily a 100yd gun now. I just shot a Buffalo in the EC at 82 yards and it was a breeze. I do, however, prefer ejectors.

I wouldn't be mad if I had ejectors, but now that I have worked out the reload sequence with the extractors its not bad, particularly if I have fired both barrels, it would be really handy for single barrel reloads though.

Can an extractor be changed into an ejector? Not inquiring about the cost or time it would take, just if it’s possible.

 

[Longrifle]

JJ is a genius. He did the same work on my .470 NE. Milled the factory rib for one of his RMR mounts. When the sight is removed, you can't even tell there has been work done because it looks original.
That K-Gun is a beautiful rifle. Good Luck with your sale. and good hunting.

I would not imagine so. The cocking system is completely different.

I think You would just have to buy new barrels with ejectors.
