1905 Ross questions

[browningautorifle]

What makes you think an American weapon tech set the barrel back? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't waste time on it. That's something the civilian world would do. We've even discussed that on this forum not long ago. It would give you a much better chamber but may buy you into a whole different set of minor difficulties.

I have just heard through reading these forums that a lot of these guns were set back like this when they crossed the border.

The set back in the US is mentionned in The Ross Rifle Story.
No doubt a way of dealing with the LC chamber.
