Someone pointed me in the direction of this gem from another forum. Appears to be an unsanded stock (recoil bolt seem to have nice countersink) Cartouches are nice and crisp although I need to do some research as to the meaning of the markings. Bore is mint and the bluing on the barrel has turned to a beautiful plumb brown. No rust or pitting. No import marks. Very well kept. I paid more than I would have liked but still got a decent deal.
Now that I have this and my US marked M91 NEW. I think I have some of the odd ball US WWI firearms covered.
If anyone can offer some advice onto the markings. I kinda was thrown onto this one and very thankful. My 3rd Ross Rifle and this is definitely the nicest I've owned. I just sold my last one to cover this purchase, seller's remorse at first until I got my hands on this.
I will probably never take it apart because I did that once and it was a nightmare to disassemble and re-assemble.
All 1905 MkII Ross Rifles I have found (including this one) have 3 out of 4 front sight screws with 1 missing. Not sure why.
Does anyone have any pictures of US soldiers training with these rifles?
Let me know what you think...
