Ross M10 MK III* acquisition

[ak_milsurp]

Greetings...

I have rarely posted on the milsurps forums, but have followed them for some time.

I just acquired a Ross M10 MK III* rifle. I've looked for one for years and all I found were sporterized and "Babba'd"examples.

THe pictures don't do the rifle justice but aren't too bad.

When I saw the auction for this, I jumped on it.....
It's in fine condition, but I don't see any stock markings, so it's been refurbed some time ago.

It's all there! Bolt had matching serial numberm but I don't think it's been riveted. Has forged forend cap, an unusual rear sight, and a "P14" style front sight.

I'd call the bore "good" Still shootable but dark... It's got British proof marks on the barrel and receiver- what does the "C" on the receiver mean?

I UNderstand the LC marking on the barrel shank means "Large Chamber" What else can you tell me about this Ross? (Other than the bolt is a BITCH to get back together correctly)
