    French language video on the Ross rifle.

    Only in Frenchicon, but some rare and interesting rifles shown. This was posted on RossRifle.com too:



    Notice the .280 with the Goerz Pernox scope, similar to discussed in this thread: http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=41600

    Some stills:

    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 wonder if some, or most of these are from the 135 Ross rifles that Frank Dupuis donated to the National War Museum in the mid 1970`s

    Most likely; I'm told they were also given a lot of the experimental and development "stuff" from the Ross factory, but chose to turf most of it in the 1970s or early 80s. Fortunately some was saved from the trash by my informant.

    You'll hear the conservator claim it is the largest Ross collection.
