Can anyone point me to an exploded parts diagram (similar to the ones in the Numrich catalog) for a Model 1905 MKII? If there is one in the "Ross Rifle Story" book, I can't find it.

The Ross Rifle Story is full of patent drawings which should help. Here's the best I can do (for a MkIII unfortunately):
Okay, it doesn't look like I'm going to find a nice Numrich-style parts diagram. That's okay I guess but I sure wish there was one in "The Ross Rifle Story". There are bits and pieces in there, but nothing in complete form. Ian McCollum a.k.a. "Gun Jesus" wrote a review of this book in his "Forgotten Weapons" series several years ago and described it as "deeply flawed". I have to agree.
The "Ross Rifle Handbook 1907" is available as a free PDF download on the net. I think it contains everything you are looking for.
