    Not surprised on the price. They are a very scarce rifle here and I’ve only seen a handful advertised for sale in the last few years.

    Many thanks for your reply. The primer impacts on the 3 cartridges fired did vary, with one much deeper impact than the other two. The speed of travel dry firing seems good and the spring itself felt...

    Hi, I thought so, but perhaps I just didn’t push the bolt firmly enough home. I will try with some different ammo to see if that makes any difference, as I’ve asked the question elsewhere and most...

    Ross M10 MkIII striker issue

    Hi,

    I took my new to me Ross to the range for the first time last week, but after firing the first 3 rounds fine it then failed to strike the primer. I had a couple more attempts but then gave up....

    Many thanks, I think I might let a gunsmith have a go. I’m even struggling to drive the cross pin out - crumbling my bronze punch and not shifting at all.... Some gorilla has knocked it through...

    Very many thanks for your reply, at least it has provided me the safe method for shifting the sight. I will try some wood working and look for a similar puller!

    Hi
    I have just bought a MkIII with this exact same issue! The sight alignment looks almost identical to your first picture and makes me wonder if moving front sight bases was a ‘feature’ of this...

    Perhaps they will be easier to sell to other potential countries as ‘anti-riot guns’, rather than old .303 rifles?

    Hi David

    I have one here in Cambridgeshire, also purchased in 2018 and I think it was brought back to the UK from Germany.
    I first shot them in the CCF (air cadet) back in the early 1980s and as...

    The bore is pretty well rounded and worn - must have had a fair few rounds through it and gauges at .306. I’d like to find a ‘fish belly mag’, but they seem unobtainium. The tapped holes do look...

    This one has certainly been in South Africa and the old 'Enfield-stuff' website shows it as an 'unknown' manufacturer.

    I'm a sucker for the MkIII oil bottles with curved base. Bit of a daft design, as they won't stand up, so you can see why they moved swiftly on to the MkIV flat base type.

    Here are a few more of...

    I think perhaps some were lightly struck, or missed, because not all the recessed cap versions are marked with the patent.
    Interesting variation though!

    You have a Harcourt screw cap on an Enfield bottle there - Harcourt were the manufacturers of that type and if you are lucky there should be a "Harcourts patent" stamp on the stem of the spoon.
