Picked Up a real bubbad Ross
-
Yup, needs a bit of work. Looks about like my TWO #5 carbines here, sad and needy.
-
-
Back position shooting or a guy with no neck?
Action looks OK and there's money in all those parts.
Any markings on the barrel?
-
will try an clean it up an list any markings i can find. not sure if i will part it or sell whole with out sight at least not sure what make it is yet
-
Getting ready to attempt, and I stress attempt to give this rifle some love. It's bad fellas,,, the pictures don't even begin to tell the story.
Since I know zero about the Ross I have two questions. How do you remove the bolt? More importantly does anyone have any bedding tips for the Ross?
-
Photo three shows the bolt stop/release on the left side - push down and the bolt should come out. The bolt stop is powered by a spring in a hole drilled in the stock. The bolt stop may be rusted in your example.
-
That type of neglect just saddens me that people just have no idea and complain when ol' betsy wont hit a thing or grenades on them!
-
that is one of the better looking fine fire arms that people bring to me to buy from them or ask me if they can be fixed. Just got contacted about a few GEW-88's from a guy who states that are kinda broken.
Not sure what that means yet. :):)

How's the bore and rifling?
Lot's of things you could with that action; it has the desirable large diameter barrel with square threads so can be easily rebarreled. The Harris magazine platform is a neat feature I would keep. The old stock will give you a nice example of the inletting for the next one.
More money in the parts and action than in that rearsight IMHO, considering the shape it's in.

I didn't even look, it's not mine so not my business. ;)
After pulling the action it's been decided to let this one lie. On top of all the other issues it appears this was fired without the front action screw in place. Things break when you do that, not just the wood......

This one rifle will be put to rest either in parts or as a wall hanger only been determined its to far gone to shoot again.. :ugh:
