    1903 Mk1 Ross

    Scarce Canadian Ross 1903 MK1* .303 British Made 1905 Uncut Barrel C Relics at GunBroker.com : 906895616

    Would you think this should be restored or Part Out?

    Since not many complete examples are on the Market, I think it should be restored.

    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.

    I agree, it would be nice if it could be resurrected.

    I ended up buying that one. That rifle is actually what lead me to this site. I plan on restoring it, but am a bit of a loss on what to do with the stock. I want to keep the original stock but it has been seriously altered both on the butt end and it's chopped on the front. I believe that Altadiver had posted a few years ago about making reproduction barrel bands and nose caps, but I've yet to follow up on that. I'm going to pick it up at the end of the month and I'll reevaluate then. There is a shop up near FT Worth that I may see if they can make a splice for the chopped forend and clean up the splice on the rear. Again, not 100% sure on my course of action.

    Honestly, that would be better for a shooting perspective, from what i understand the MK2 had a better bolt and reinforced receiver. Though to be perfectly honest I'm having a bit of trouble seeing the one piece top handguard. Then again I havent so much as handled a Ross and a few Forgotten Weapons videos and some forum snooping hardly qualifies me as an expert.
