.303 - only sporting rifles were chambered in .280, except for the special military match ones.

These are standard number screw threads. The worst case is that you find someone to make you a dimensioned drawing of the correct screw and get someone with a lathe to cut it. The screw can be heat...

At one time I had 3 Ross mkIII rifles. Two of them the bolts could be intechanged. The third one would not accept either of the other bolts. If I recall correctly, the third rifle's bolt would fit...

Speaking of offset front sights, I sold a MKIII that had a noticeable twist to the side of the front sight assembly. Had to come from the factory that way as it was a full length barrel. The only way...

Hard to tell if your rifle has the pinned bolt. In my opinion it is a plus if it doesn't

This refers to MkI, II*,***,*****. MkII** and MkIII have different threads from "quick change" type. I would expect Tiriaq to be correct. The MkII no-star I have is definitely buttress thread, left...

1943 Long Branch 34L2938. FTR Fazerkerly 1952. 5 groove barrel was full of cosmolene when I got it and looks new. Full beech stock, Mk1 sight (battle sight was ground off), Bolt, butt socket and...

Full length MkIII barrel is 30.5" A sporter barrel would be lighter and have serial number stamp. A cut back MkIII barrel IMO.

The MkIII (1910) is the strongest action, but the only one that can be assembled incorrectly. Study the details on this site. Civilian models are rarer than military, but do exist. If you find a very...

Bought a #4Mk I* Long Branch 1943 FTR'd in 1952 with cosmoline still in barrel for $75. Could have also had a #1 Mk III for same price. This was around 2000 when registry was going into effect. Still...

I wish we could get the Inglis Browning made into a regular section of the Cdn. Military Surplus Knowlege Library. We have the contributors available to do that with photographs and text. I am on the...

An unknown quantity of rifles, including Ross rifles, of MkIII and earlier marks, many already stripped of furniture, were sent to Algoma Steel in Sault St. Marie to be melted down. Some of these...

Probably from HMS Canada that was sold to Chile complete with small arms on board. Some have since resurfaced here.

I am primarily interested in Cdn milsurps. Have a Long Branch and couple of Ross. Currently looking for full length full stock Ross MkIII. Hopefully will find an Inglis Browning at a price I can...

If you haven't figured this out already, with the magazine cut-off/bolt retainer in the mid position, (as in you photo), Hold bolt head in position so the round shank is extended, aligned with...

Looking for full length barrel & wood, Mk*III Ross

I recently acquired a 1910 Ross that has had the stock cut and barrel shortened to 24 3/4". I assume this was done when the gun was surplused and "sporterized" for resale. The bore looks pretty...

I had two great-uncles (grandmother's brothers) that served in WW1 and my father's olderst brother was killed at 2nd battle of Amiens. Wish I had asked my Great Uncle Sid more about his military...

Have been hanging out here for a while, but not posted. Into hunting and shooting, interested in Milsurps, but only own one Long Branch so far. This is a valuable resource board for milsurp...
