I posted this over on canadian gun nutz as well, but I've been lurking all over the place.

What I have to share today are a few pictures of my dad's Ross rifle.

The story goes that my dad got this gun from an older gent in Quebec in the mid 70s, for hunting.

My dad had all the blue-ing redone, and he sanded and linseed+varethaned the stock himself.

It's no WW2 gun so I'm not too broken up about it. He did what looks to me like an excellent job. He's also kept it spotless clean and oiled it maybe once every 10 years.

The gun falls into my hands now, it hasn't been shot in more than 25 years but I aim to change that. He even held onto some ammunition, spent brass and failed primer rounds.

Here are some pics













30 bucks for a box of 10.. even in the 70s ammo for this thing wasn't exactly cheap!

My dad remembers this thing kicking like a horse. He also remembers cutting the head off a coyote with one round..

The only serial number I found was a 22 stamped underneath the bolt head.

Any thoughts on 1: finding new ammunition
2: General value / condition?
