    Ross 35 WCF

    Hi,
    I just learned a friend of mine has an old Ross rifle. It is a Ross 35 WCF. It comes complete with the original instruction manual. I am guessing it was made in 1907 and there was very few made. Does anybody have any idea how many of these rifles were made in 35 Cal.?
    What would the best course of action be for restoring this rifle, or is it best left unmolested?
    It was used on the East Coast as a hunting rifle and was passed down in a family. I have no financial interest in this rifle. It seems to me that it is possibly a very rare rifle, particularly as it still has the original Ross manual and it should be treated as special.
    Looking forward to any advice that I can pass on?

    Thanks in advance.

    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.

    Double thread.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928
