My new Ross Rifle Mk.III

[Oatmeal Savage]

and more photos. There doesn't appear to be a rivet in the bolt. I performed the PP "sure fire" test, from the site Library, and bolt snapped home quite nicely when I pressed the trigger. There is a surprising lack of markings on this rifle, so far I have found just "H G" in front of the serial number. Someone shortened the stock comb, it looks like the bottom of the butt stock is held on by two screws. The only metal it appears to be missing are the nose cap, rear sling swivel, the front sight hood w/ screws. My first impressions of fondeling the MkIII is the length of the barrel and the skookum rear sights. These rifles must have been tack drivers when they were new. The barrel is in good condition, this one will be a shooter, but not a tack driver.

Thanks
