Looks good. The front sight hood is on backwards although I have seen enough of them that way to wonder if some just liked them that way. As you probably know most of these ones sent to the US had the chambers REALLY reamed so tend to "fireform" enthusiastically. As for the bolt being stiff or sticky, the bolts are often completely caked with old fossilized grease and dirt, so a good soaking in a solvent or ultrasonic bath may work wonders.....

Thank you for replying Jim and Boltaction! I did try some stuff called Go-Juice that is thicker than most of the synthetic biosynthetic, etc. lubricants out there. Bolt is still harder to cycle than I imagine it should be. Unfortunately, I do not have any other Ross rifles to compare it too. How difficult should it be? It is definitely stiffer than any of the 4 Enfields that I own. I guess I could try to take the bolt down but I am really reluctant to do that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
John

Put some Lubriplate No. 105 Grease on the tracks, etc and it is better. Might use some jewelers rouge with 3 in 1 to smooth it out a little more. Thanks!
