I inherited this a couple of years ago.  Ejected cases occasionally plunked me in the head, and it was really dirty.  So I took it to a local specialist and he did a thorough cleaning and I suspect he changed the ejector spring.  The spent cases fly out behind me a good 15'.  Winchester, with the serial number visible at the rear of the sights.  Sadly, I don't know more history on it.  It seems pretty accurate and reliable, but all I shoot is lake city ball. Looking forward to learning from this forum.
