    Since I know zero about the Ross I have two questions. How do you remove the bolt? More importantly does anyone have any bedding tips for the Ross?
    How's the bore and rifling?

    Lot's of things you could with that action; it has the desirable large diameter barrel with square threads so can be easily rebarreled. The Harris magazine platform is a neat feature I would keep. The old stock will give you a nice example of the inletting for the next one.

    More money in the parts and action than in that rearsight IMHO, considering the shape it's in.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    After pulling the action it's been decided to let this one lie. On top of all the other issues it appears this was fired without the front action screw in place. Things break when you do that, not just the wood......

    Can you be more specific? Do you have photos of the damage?
