Ross MK II not firing

No, that sliding part with the hole has been filled and smooth. Still had that large loading lever, which I removed and will be putting in a conventional spring and follower.

I'm not sure what part you're referring to there. The loading lever is what's called the "Harris Lever" and it's a handy feature: drop in loose rounds and release the lever and you're ready to go - depress the lever, turn the rifle over and dump the rounds out somewhere other than on the ground like a Mauser bottom plate release does.
