1910 Ross rifle question???

Easy to install, if you know how to disassemble and reassemble the bolt. And lets not get a thread going on what happens if the bolt is reassembled incorrectly. I suspect that a posting "1910 Ross firing pin wanted" might turn one up. Just a thought - sometimes DP rifles had their firing pins nipped off, and broken pins aren't common. Check and see if its a DP, and if it is, make sure nothing else was done to it.

No. You still can disassemble a pinned Ross bolt without drilling it out.Klunk said:
The only thing the pin does is totally prevent wrong assembly of the bolt. Once you've got the knack with it, it is routine.
The first time you'll find the Ross bolt overengineered but once you take time to play with it, you'll marvel at the machining care that went into making one.
Just take your time and understand each one of the parts' function before taking it out.
Better: put a piece of double stick tape on a tray and stick each part on it from left to right, in the order of disassembly. this helps when in doubt.
Good luck.
If you need some step-by-step instructions, just PM me and I'll disassemble one and take pics, then post it here.

Ross pin
Yes, even with the pin, you can still disassemble the bolt. Really, the whole thing about Ross rifle bolts being able to be put together wrong and such was a problem created by morons and perpetuated by people who didn't like the rifles. I have owned a large number of M10 military and sporter rifles over the years, and have TRIED to put the bolt together wrong. It is possible, but then it is REALLY hard to put back in the gun, and even a total knob should be able to figure out that something is not right when you have to practically kick the damn thing to get it back in! Anyway, I will check the M10 DP I have for sale at the local gun shop and see if it still has the firing pin. If so, I'll let you know. However, the other post is correct--broken firing pins are rare, so it may be that yours was deliberately nipped. Check it out. It may actually be simpler for me just to send you the whole bolt if it works.
Cheers.

Ross bolt
No, I didn't call you a knob. I should have clarified in the post that you can put the bolts together wrong, although it is hard, but it is REALLY hard if not practically impossible to put the bolt back into the rifle that way, which is the important thing of course, and that is where the knob part comes in. If you read books on military rifles, you'll often see a brief description of the Ross rifle with a note saying, these rifles may be unsafe to fire if the bolt is put together wrong. As for your comment about mine being broken, I don't seem to recall writing that it was. One rifle up for sale is a DP with a drilled barrel, basically good for parts. The bolt is probably still completely functional, so if the gent who actually has the problem with the firing pin in his rifle is interested, I can get it for him.
