So it seems the horror Ross stories are just that. Good to know, handy to question categorical statements in future.

Depends which stories you mean. Blow-backs did happen, but AFAWK, only due to misassembly.

I've read that it is easier to find a Ross Mk III with the bolt "safety rivet", than one without. You don't go to that much effort to prevent misassembly unless there is a definite problem - even if the modification is only to bolster user confidence. It will always be the "elephant in the room" with the Ross Mk III.
