The "2" would be just above or just below the serial number on the barrel. You shouldn't have to disassemble anything to find it. If there isn't one, it is the original barrel. Production would date...

The serial numbers include all commercial rifle production, which is all civilian sales of target and hunting rifles. There were two major version of the military/civilian target rifles, the earlier...
Unfortunately, unless it is a presentation rifle with a butt placard, it is almost impossible to trace where the rifles went to/came from. Particularly with the civilian models which do not have the...
Thanks for the note! While I agree the MkIII sight would have enough vertical travel, it is not a true vernier scale on the elevation, and the windage has only 5 MOA adjustment lines compared to the...
Ah yes, you are correct, my apologies for the misinterpretation.
I am not using a MkIII for the project. I am using a commercial M-10 which has a large female dovetail in place (see Surpmil's pictures above).
I agree. In period, Lyman produced the 48 "long slide" with the 150 point scale with a right hand slider for Ross 1910 pattern rifles. They also made a model 50 for calibrated for the 280 cartridge....
I mean an M10 in 280. I have two that both have quite poor bores. I will be machining a dovetail to fit. I am open to quite a few vintage sights from the period, but not many have enough elevation to...
No, I do not have a sight mount. If I cannot find a period mount, I can fabricate a simple spring mount that attaches to the receiver bridge easily to fir whatever sight I purchase.
Hey everyone, I am building a target rifle in 6.5-303 off of a Ross commercial M-10. It is receiving a new heavier barrel, new stock, etc. I would like to make it as close to period-correct as...
I know it's a long shot, but if anyone here wants to sell theirs...I have a period Ross match rifle project that could really use it :cool:
I have a Canadian Tool & Specialty aight on my Commercial target. I would like to also know the thread dimensions, as I want to use a multi aperture eyepiece for target use.
I did end up figuring it out. As mine is a commercial target, it has a receiver bridge with a notched bolt that goes through the stock. The notch is relieved for the pawl (square arm that comes up to...
Hi everyone, just purchased a Ross MkII** Target rifle. The gun is in excellent condition and visually mechanically perfect. My problem is when opening the bolt, the lugs rotate, and just before they...
Hi everyone, just joined up. Canadian in Alberta, I collect commercial contract Mausers. I joined this forum to research a commercial target Ross MkII** I just purchased.
