I have a few of these rifles and all are the Gras rifles built as Gras rifles, not converted Chassepots.. The bore diameters can vary quite a bit. I believe the hard lead bullets were paper...
I have a 1909 dated Mk II 3* Ross which is one of the rifles sold to the US during WW1.
It is complete and, as far as I can tell, original, except that I replaced the rear top wood with a piece from...
You might have trouble, anyway, trading a 1902 bayonet for an 1896. The earlier ones tend to command a premium. There seem to be more of the later ones available. As the others said, 1896 rifles...
You appear to have 1898 sights modified to the standard of 1902. The one with the peep is the later variety of the two. Neither is original to your 1900 dated rifle. Just buy a new sight, either...
I want to hunt (Deer, Elk) with my unmolested 1905 Ross. The rifle is spot-on with some kinds of FMJ ammunition, such as Igman with the 180 grain FMJ spitzer. The Canada Tool sight makes it a joy...
It well may have been RA-P. I just sold one like that. You may also find that it is a 1903A3 scant stock. It turned out that mine was, though I got a 1903 rifle in it.
The Germans converted some rifles after they occupied the countries that had previously owned them, but you have a Berthier Carbine, by the way it is described, and I doubt that the Germans even...
Brophy's book indicates that no new rifles were made after 1927. I assume that this means new rifles for the US Army regular corps.
The same book indicates that rifles were made through 1935 and...
OK, I understand what you are saying. The 8 over 15 indicates August, 1915.
However, does the 762 over 1909 indicate a production serial number at the factory? Yours has a different number in that...
7142I have been reading the Ross threads, with interest. It is vastly under-rated rifle. I just wish it would feed round nose bullets, as they seem to be most accurate in mine. It shoots very...
I am a new member at this forum. I have been collecting military firearms since the early seventies. Your info on the Ross Rifle, one of which I have, attracted me to the forum.
Thanks
