Had a call from a friend who has one which his Uncle had cut the butt down on as he was only 5' 2" tall. He said it was complete otherwise. I went to look at it and could have cried. Butt cut down all right...barrel cut to 20 inches, forestock cut below middle band...rear flip up has also been monkeyed with but I don't have an original to compare to. Worst part was that the bore was the nicest I've ever seen. I guess it's a parts gun for the future. Now home here in my safe. No serial number...bolt not pinned...no mark for enlarged chamber.

Yes you do.... ;)

In the Canada - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here) (http://www.milsurps.com/forumdisplay.php?f=10), there's a 77 pic photo montage of a good example of a 1916 M10 Ross MkIII* (click here) (http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=4).
