Wow! Whatever you do, DON'T "restore" it. Not many of those rifles left floating around. Good for you!:)
 
Very nice. Very nice neighbours. Army Cadet corps lists the 459 Cadet Corps. Would have been used as a trainer. If you ever want to sell it I'm interested.

#459 Cadet Corps

Name - Prince Albert Public Schools Cadet Batallion

Location Prince Albert, SK

Formed October 16, 1913 Disbanded January 11, 1946
 
It's not chambered for shorts. Use standard velocity .22 Long Rifle. Don't use high velocity rounds in it. It is an auto-eject single shot. When you pull the trigger it will open the bolt and eject the empty, ready to load the next round. high velocity .22s will beat it up pretty quickly. With standard loads they are a ball to shoot.
 
The only cleaning should be to remove dust and biologic dirt. Otherwise, oil for the metal to keep the fingerprint stains off, and boiled linseed oil to lift the dirt out of the pores on the stock. Clean the barrel with a good powder solvent too. Old .22 cartridges left flakes of grit behind which will hold moisture against the bore.
 
Shorts have very little noise, so that is why I like them for teaching kids. The number of shots that will get fired doesn't concern me about the chamber. Shorts are also useful for dispatching pesky critters without alarming the neighbors, or so I have been told.

Thats exactly what I did minus the BLO. After I removed the dirt from the stock using denatured alcool, stock came out just as it is on the pictures posted above.
the bore is pristine too, I used KG products
Didn't shoot with yet but I will use the proper standard ammo. thanks for the tips
 
Super your .22 Ross Cadet look great
Super addition to anyone love Ross rifle
for their unbelieveable story on war,
Post war Shooting range and hunting devastator

Guess i'm lucky Ive just Acquired another Ross 22 same pattern 1912 but this one dated 1913. Lots of DP stamps (2x on the stock and 2x on the barrel) rifle missing extractor, the nose cap's screws and the screws at the trigger house are not the proper ones.
Looking for the missing parts if anyones can help , I would appreciated. pm me
thanks

How hard are parts to find for this rifle? Just wondering my LGS has one of these on the milsurp rack and has no idea what it is. He is asking $150 US for it. It is missing only the front sight for it as far as I can tell.

edit: Sorry it is actually missing both sights come to think of it. :(

Try sub-sonic 22 LR, acreage rounds. Cycle better than 22 shorts in many firearms, about 850 fps IIRC

Bargain down to $100 or 125 and grab it! These are clever little Ross trainers. Any parts you need will have to be made one by one, but there is more to this than just having another old .22. Sir Charles Ross was as important a designer as JM Browning, just not as successful in fixing the problems his designs exposed.
 
As important as JMB?
...bit of a stretch there...
And I've a MK II & MK III, so not prejudiced. But JMB was a pretty talented individual.
Sir Charles Ross, well...a character...that's for sure
 
Cottage Hill Bill says the 1912 is an Auto Eject. That is incorrect! It is not designed to auto eject! If you have a 1912 that is auto ejecting you should stop shooting it and have it serviced or repaired!
