"Ross" Semi Auto prototype

That one has been discussed quite a lot. A Ross Mk. III was cannibalized in the making of this rifle - but it isn't a Ross semi auto prototype.

As TIRIAQ states, there has been a lot of discussion both here on GunNutz and other Milsurp forums. Interestingly enough, about a year after all the flurry of posts on this rifle, it appeared in an Auction in the USA as "an original Ross prototype" despite all the information that pointed to the contrary.
 
I'm sure that the rifle was tested back in the day - but I do not know that I would want to shoot it.
 
That's $11250 for the story and $250 for the rifle.
Look closely and Sir Chuck would never have let anything looking like that see the light of day.

Wasn't part of this story that it might have come from Savage?

Although I have been told by a knowledgeable gent that it didn't.

Who knows?

I think it an interesting oddity personally, of unknown providence.

It's a neat gun that's for sure!! But the word "might" always scares me when buying a firearm.

Recently I was looking at buying a vintage target rifle with a simlar story. The seller who is a stranger to me gave me a great story about the rifle and a top dollar pricetag. When I asked him for any documentation surround the rifle he could not produce anything other then "it looks like it MIGHT be the same type of rifle."

I passed on the gun, too many stories and not enough documents now a days it seems.

I'm sure glad that I know Buffdog as he's beat into my brain "buy the rifle not the story"
