Unfortunately I am traveling right now so I can't measure it. I did go through my order history and I ordered it through sarco and it was listed as a 14 inch vz24 rod. Unfortunately they appear out...
Wow that came out really good. I love the stock. For a cleaning rod I used a VZ24 cleaning rod in mine. It screwed in perfectly and seems to be the correct length. I think I just saw the front sight...
I actually just did a restoration project with a sporterized 1935 Peruvian Rifle over the summer. I found the H band from century arms
FN 98 Mauser Front Band
I found a close replacement handguard...
I'm slightly late to this. I like the look of the stock. I don't have Wayne's book available to me right now (traveling) but I don't think the butt plate is correct for a Egyptian contract. On mine...
It's a german proof mark.
Pretty sure its for a Gewehr 88 rifle.
Yes. It's a unique rifle that was at least advertised as a military rifle. I have one and it's a fun rifle to shoot.
It's a post WW2 FN made Carbine that is in 30/06. Very similar to a Venezuelan FN Carbine.

That is a very good price. Hope you get the rifle today!
Auction wise I would say $550 would be a good base price. Otherwise the Centerfire Systems K31s with no mag went for $450 last year. Bowman Armaments which was a new seller sold K31s for $450 as well...
Hmmmmm, pricing for these parts is always difficult they don't come up for sale often. I think you are on the right track with the rear sight $300 seems to be a decent starting point based on prior...
It certainly looks like Walnut to me.
Nice find. Hopefully you can find the stock and missing parts. It is a unique rifle to shoot especially being cock on close.
I was wondering when they were sold out of Chilean service. I would guess then that they must have sat in storage for awhile since the Almirante Latorre was sold for scrap in 1959.
I guess one possible post 1945 use of the Ross Rifle was the ones that were in service on the Chilean battleship Almirante Latorre. It appears that ship was used till the mid 1950s and then sold for...
I ended up buying one as well for a project K-31 I did over the summer. I have not taken it to the range yet but the install was very easy. It is a very well made mount and the deflector works very...
Ross Rifle Restoration has made them in the past. In talking with him he seems to make them in batches. I've been waiting for one for awhile now so he might be close to making some soon.
You should be able to use a k98k firing pin and spring. The M48 won't fit because I believe its an intermediate length action.
Most likely its your firing pin spring that is the issue. I have a...
Rough answer I would say based on watching previous auctions is $1500 for a good condition Mark III. This might be a little high but with so few selling over a year it's sometimes hard to see where...
I would agree with the suggestion to keep fiddling with it. I have noticed with mine that some are more easier than others to disassemble/reassemble the bolt sleeve.
I would try to take it apart if you can to clean it. I have noticed some of these South American Mausers can have some decent rusting/pitting underneath the wood that needs to be addressed to stop...
It was purchased by Brazil between 1922-1924 from FN. Supposedly for artillery/calvary troops. Unknown the total number purchased. As with a lot of short rifles/carbines from Brazil many were used...
A couple of videos were recently released on youtube regarding the M96 and how good it performs. Judging by the popularity of the videos I think you will see a spike in M96 prices for awhile. All...
Nice rifle and very desirable right now. Looking at past auctions on gunbroker, 2 that had crests like yours sold recently for about $1000-$1200. I own a SCW scrubbed one and they are priced a lot...
Very nicely done!
