Ross Long Range Target Rifle Project - Pic Heavy

This is an excellent resource for those going forward. It is becoming increasingly hard to find a barrel maker/gunsmith who is comfortable with threading in a barrel for Ross. This should help them! Do you by chance also have one for the 1905 style quick thread?

How do I make it not tiny? Very frustrating that it's resizing my images. I also have prints for an action wrench I designed and made. Nothing on the 3 TPI 1905 style, unfortunately.
 
It is when I see extractor cuts like those in the Mk. III barrel face that I wish I hadn't sold my lathe milling attachment when I got the mill/drill. Cutter in the spindle, barrel in the milling attachment.
 
Glad you did bump this thread Tiriaq.
I have been in contact with IBI barrels in Chilliwack about re-barreling an old M10 280 Ross that has a sewer pipe for a barrel. It keyholes at 25 yards. The drawings posted by Blastattack are fantastic and may be a great help in my project.
I plan on getting a new pipe installed in 7mm Rem Mag. so this fine old rifle can hunt again.

I've been considering doing that to an M10 of mine, specifically the one in my pictures. I've yet to design a magazine system, but the shortest long-action AICS magazines would work very well in a custom DBM.
 
I am hoping that the 7mm Rem Mag cartridge will work with the original follower and magazine in my 280 Ross. Case dimensions of the 7RM are very similar to the 280Ross and the taper of the cases is also quite close.
I dont want to mess with altering feed rails or bolt head. I have been using 300H+H cases (shortened and Full length resized and fire formed) to make 280Ross and they cycle through the action just fine.
Another candidate for this re-barrel job could be 28 Nosler as it has same OAL as 280 Ross case and the rim dimension is close and there is no belt on the case. I decided on the 7RM as the cost and availability of 28Nosler brass vs 7RM are an issue for me. Also the taper of the 28 Nosler is not as close to the 280 Ross as is the 7RM.
IBI has told me that they can re-chamber for a variety of 7mm rounds including 7RM, 28Nosler and 280AI to name just a few.
 
Tagged for interest. I've got a couple of M10s languishing in the back of the lockup that deserve attention.
 
Unfortunately not too much folks. I sat down for some work on it for an hour the other day and found the bolt to be quite stiff. More so than I remembered. It is clear to me that I will have to do some work to slick up the action before this can be test fired.

I promise I haven't forgotten about this project! Work/life has just become all encompassing for the time being, sadly.
 
I don't want to be That Guy, but here I am, being That Guy...:)

This is far too lovely of a thing to leave half done. Have you had time to turn a wheel on the project in the last few months? Dying to know, mate.

I have a rolling block project I hope to send bits of to Mr. Kob for his Hubble-Space-Telescope-Picture-Looking CCH work. Your ics of the receiver and associated parts you sent him helped me solidify that decision.
