Latest Ross Acquisitions
Pic of my latest acquisitions. I am going to keep the two MKIIIs, two MKIIs, the .280 Ross, Scoped M1910, the rest I am going to put on gunbroker.
I am very please with the barrels and bores. Amazing for 100+ years old, barrels with shiny and great rifling! These are going to be awesome shooters.

A hoard like that NEVER becomes available in the sunny north! Nice catch.

I've been cleaning today and again, I can't be more pleased on the condition of the rifles. All the barrels look fantastic, I was worried they might be destroyed from corrosive ammunition. So far so good. They are getting a deep cleaning and I am learning more about MKIIIs I've attached three pics of the rifles I've started to clean. The M10 had an odd proof mark. "Not English Make" 
I am assuming the RCA stamp on the wood - Royal Canadian
Artillery?

I'd have a hard time breaking up that clutch. It would take some time to sort for me. Some nice ones there.

Yes, RCA is Royal Canadian Artillery.

Do you mind measuring the barrel on the 1910-E at the top of the photo?

Thanks, I've sent you a PM with info on how to get registered for the Ross forum
From what's been recorded so far, 22 was the shortest factory barrel offered, along with 24 and 26 inches. Mine has been clipped and from how short it is now, it was probably 22 as well.

Yup, I got the e-mail. The E-1910 has the roughest stock of all my rifles. I still haven’t cleaned it yet. I planned on soaking the barrel and action it in my solvent tank and giving it a thorough cleaning.
