    Scope Mounting on a sporter with no rifle modifications.

    I decided that since my eyes are no longer 25 years old, I need some optical help. I won't change anything on a collectors rifle, I must keep it original, so with that in mind I set out to build scope mounts that would use the original dovetails. Here is a link to the photos on the Ross Collectors forum: Welcome to Ross Rifle go down to the "sights" section and look down several entries till you find:
    Bigedac's scope set-up for M-10: no changes to rifle; brass offer
    I have not yet shot it but will as soon as I receive the case forming dies using the .375 Ruger basic brass. I will have brass available once I get the dies. I know of a machinist who will make the sight bases but he wants to make more than one at a time, so if you are interested please let me know.

    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.
