A Mk. II rifle bolt cannot be misassembled the way a Mk. III bolt can be.
For your own piece of mind, just watch the bolthead as you close it. You will see it kick over to lock.

where I now live. I got my first military long arm when I was about 12. I traded a (toy) cap gun and $1 (the dollar was worth something then) for a "last ditch" Japanese 7.7mm

. In the 50 years hence, my collection has gotten a bit out of hand, as I now have some 50+ rifles dating from the Spanish American war to the fall of the

Union.
I am also an occasional shooter and having read so much about the accuracy of the

Ross, I'd like to shoot the one I have. It's a Mark II with US flaming bomb acceptance stamps on the bayonet and stock. I'm apprehencive about the possibility of a miss assembled bolt. Anyone know of a way to look @ the bolt and know it's been put together correctly? I've never had it apart. I suppose I could simply shoot it from the hip to make sure, but I'd prefer something less risky.
Thanks in advance
Talking about Ross accuracy in the same sentence as a MkII*** is pretty much like saying "Ford made some pretty fast racing cars in the past, so can I expect my 1971 Pick-up to go really fast and corner as well"?
Check on FleaBay for a copy of "Sir Charles Ross and his Rifle"- usually around $10 plus shipping. It will show you most of the different variations.
