    Latest Ross Acquisitions

    Pic of my latest acquisitions. I am going to keep the two MKIIIs, two MKIIs, the .280 Ross, Scoped M1910, the rest I am going to put on gunbroker.

    I am very please with the barrels and bores. Amazing for 100+ years old, barrels with shiny and great rifling! These are going to be awesome shooters.

    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.

    A hoard like that NEVER becomes available in the sunny north! Nice catch.

    I've been cleaning today and again, I can't be more pleased on the condition of the rifles. All the barrels look fantastic, I was worried they might be destroyed from corrosive ammunition. So far so good. They are getting a deep cleaning and I am learning more about MKIIIs I've attached three pics of the rifles I've started to clean. The M10 had an odd proof mark. "Not English Make" I am assuming the RCA stamp on the wood - Royal Canadianicon Artillery?

    I'd have a hard time breaking up that clutch. It would take some time to sort for me. Some nice ones there.

    Yes, RCA is Royal Canadian Artillery.

    Do you mind measuring the barrel on the 1910-E at the top of the photo?

    Thanks, I've sent you a PM with info on how to get registered for the Ross forum

    From what's been recorded so far, 22 was the shortest factory barrel offered, along with 24 and 26 inches. Mine has been clipped and from how short it is now, it was probably 22 as well.

    Yup, I got the e-mail. The E-1910 has the roughest stock of all my rifles. I still haven’t cleaned it yet. I planned on soaking the barrel and action it in my solvent tank and giving it a thorough cleaning.
