Specifically, I need the ladder portion of a Sutherland rear sight for a Model 1905 Ross Mark II*** Rifle. Can anyone help?

Have heard that a fellow named Warren Wheatfield in Canada has them, but cannot get an e-mail address on him, either.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Every time I go to manage my photo gallery it kicks me over to wbs2111's whatever you call it. Mind you, I don't actually have a computer of my own so I use his. Anyway,once there, haven't been able to load more than a pic or two before it max'es out. :sos: ]]> jmoore http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=12921 http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=10838&goto=newpost Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:09:13 GMT I have noticed these boards are much faster under IE8.

I know, I'm probably the last person on earth still using IE...

OK, back under my rock for now. Best wishes. Dave

(Click PIC to Enlarge)

In simple terms, Photo Gallery is a free on-line photographic digital album environment, which permits members to store their pictures on the Milsurps.Com hosting server, in a similar fashion to the well known PhotoBucket Internet commercial site. These pics may be organized into electronic albums and viewed by other members, as well as the software provides the capability to easily cut-n-paste those same pics into any post being created on the Milsurps.Com site.

The hard disk storage space on our server is limited, so there are a few restrictions on the amount of albums and images various membership levels may utilize.

A standard Registered Member who uses all of the resources of this web site completely free, is restricted to 2 albums, each of which can be no more than 20 images each, for a total of 80 photos.

A Contributing Member is restricted to 20 albums, each of which can be no more than 40 images each, for a total of 800 photos. This also applies to all Moderators and our Milsurps Advisory Panel Members (click here).

Although the Military Surplus Collectors Forums are free to everyone interested in our chosen hobby, members of this special group are people who have graciously chosen to voluntarily donate a nominal amount of money, to help defray several thousand dollars in annual system bandwidth, server, disk storage and maintenance costs.

Contributing Members also enjoy value added services such as full access to the resources of our Appraisals and Mediation Forum (click here), no limits to classified ad posting in the Quartermaster Stores (click here), plus twenty (20) additional FREE credits that may be applied towards displaying featured ads at the top of the forums home page.
