    Another sporterized Ross MkII

    Hey guys thought I would show this one off a bit. A friend sold it to me as a project rifle and I have done some cleaning up on it in the last few days, lots of work to go but looks like a promising little woods rifle. Not really thinking of restoring this one at this time as the stock is too far gone to be of much help and it has the usual pipe wrench marks on the barrel and a few holes, but I like it and need a rifle for hunting elk, so this may be it!

    What exactly did this one start as?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Beautiful stock! In our sometimes myopic intrest in originality, we forget what fine shooting/hunting rifles these can be. Elk hunting I agree is an excellent use for this fine rifle. Regards. Tom

    Beautiful stock! the rifle Started life as a 1905 Mk II 3*, most of which were sent to the US, and most of which met their fate at the hands of Bubba. This one was nicely done, and will probably shoot very nicely indeed.

    That rifle started life as a 1905 Mk II 3*. Most of those went to the US, where they are the most commonly encountered Ross. Most were sporterized bu Bubba, as was yours. Your rifle seems to have been done very nicely, unlike a lot, and yours should not only look pretty with its lovely wood grain and elegant lines, but should also shoot very well,
