I noticed the numbers were on the wrong side. I didn't think the bracket was original just doesn't look like the Asian version with the two distinct facets on the side. Thank you for the reply.

Thanks for the comments. I was leaning towards the pads being modern production from the UK. Maybe Fultons or I think an outfit called DS Solutions made some as well, at least I think that is the...

Here are more pics of the pads. Hopefully a little better quality.

Sorry for lousy pics. Will post better of the pads. Wondered if bracket was a Roger Payne produced one? Definitely different from Taiwanese version.

Recently got these parts and was wondering about the origins of them. From what I can learn the pads might be original or maybe Fultons made due to the radiused corners and worn Park looking finish....

Thanks for the tip. No desire to throw nearly $600 CDN for junk. I wonder if any others are usable as purchased? Read on one forum that there are a few guys capable of going over one of the imports...

Recently acquired a no4 mk1* that has an excellent bore and is definitely not a real T rifle. However it has a set of repro pads mounted for a scopebracket which I have already purchased. I would...

I see your point. Only collectors would be concerned about "correct" parts. To an armourer or supply officer the only thing that mattered was serviceable rifles.

Thanks, apparently Savage did produce their own magazines. I heard that LB supplied them with some hence the LB mag body with the boxed S follower. Safe to assume both were originally in Savage built...

Have a couple mags here I am wondering about. One is stamped with the superimposed L over B for Long Branch on the spine but has the boxed S for Savage on the follower. I read somewhere that Savage...

Yes, the Ross consistently outshot Lee Enfields pre WW1 at Bisley chambered in .280. Then the British decreed that service rifles competing had to be chambered in .303 British. Surprise! The Ross...

I have seen a few 95's with foreign distributor names on them as well. One I missed in .405, had a matted rib on top of the barrel, shotgun butt. Was marked (something or other) et freres. Looked it...

If so, I have never heard or read of any such instance. Generally snipers were enlisted men who worked in 2 man teams and used issue rifles and ammunition. Plus the example shown has never seen the...

A few months back I got an original 1895 Winchester is 35 Winchester calibre, something I have lusted after for several years. Ammunition can be problematic but happened on 6 ten round boxes of...

Rather fanciful description. A nice sporting rifle 1910-M but not a sniper rifle. The Canadian Expeditionary Force used 1910 Ross rifles (usually with wood cut down) long after the Ross was withdrawn...

A couple pics of Ross, (I hope). Just need 3/8 dovetail blank and sling swivels. Mounted old Weaver in Grand Slam rings. I think it looks pretty sharp personally.

Been a few weeks. Barrel shortened about 1.25 inches and recrowned. There is no notch cut in feed ramp. two position bolt release. Stock stripped, sanded(lightly) and received about 12 coats of tung...

No foresight present. Some moron filed a 3/8 dovetail for a front sight probably leaving about .050 barrel wall thickness to the bore. Barrel is too light for that , the reason they were made with a...

There is a 60 stamped in the barrel channel just forward of the notch inlet for the rear sight in the barrel channel, ditto for buttplate.

Will check for serial number. Don't think there is one from memory. Buttplate is M10, Checkered steel with spur on top. Stock has two lightening holes drilled under buttplate and is marked M10 in ink...

Thanks Jim
Just curious whether it is factory or some made up thing. REALLY wish someone had taken the file away from the unknown assailant before he went at it. Would have liked to keep the...

Rifle arrived. Bubba has gotten to it but I think I can make a decent hunting rifle out of it. Some moron tried to mount sights that are dovetailed in the barrel. Rear is a botch job that I will have...

Thanks for the reply. Read a tidbit on line that a few M10's were made in .303 and command a premium. Don't know the veracity of that. I should receive it by the end of the week. Will post pics.

No comments?

I was always under the impression the Ross 10m (the one that looks like a Scottish stalking rifle and has no protrudung magazine beneath the action) was only offered in .280. No hard evidence just...
