Well new to me anyway. I just got this in the mail and am cleaning the barrel. The rifle came with the bolt removed and I need to knoe how ir go's back into the action. I have found some info about disassembling the bolt but not the rifle. Abyway, here are some pic's
Action

Bolt.

Bolt extended. I have to hold it open, hence the finger.

Any and all reasonable suggestions and comments will be apprecated, thanks!:)
 
Usually, the bolt can be extended and barely holds still. Just line it up carefully in the bolt lug races and slide it home then flip the bolt stop up.
Just be careful not to unsettle it or the bolt head will snap back before you can slide it in place. Easy... well, almost...;)
Do not ram the bolt home, just let it go near the end and press the trigger; the bolt will snap shut in place. This avoids letting the firing pin spring compressed.
Just don't do this with a round chambered, it would fire!:eek:

PP.
 
Just be glad it's not a Steyr Mannlicher - I've got a few good pinches from some of mine. I have one where the head will not stay extended at all (and it's a strong spring!) so each time I remove it I need to use a toothpick wedge to keep it extended :p

How's the bore?
 
I also just received my first Ross Mk III today! I also had to figure out how to install the bolt!
Pull the bolt head forward while rotating, it should be fully extended. The lever on the left side of the rifle should be in the middle, sticking straight out. Down blocks the magazine so the rifle can be single loaded, up is normal with bolt locked in.
Now, start the bolt into the track, you have to line it up down low on both sides. if you've done it right it should slide right in easily.
Verify very carefully that the bolt is rotating into the locked position as it goes into battery!

Very cool rifles, I love mine! I love my Long Branches but this is actually more interesting...more doodads to play with eh...:rockOn::dancingbanana:[

Just make sure you try 180 grainers from Winchester. Federals tend to stick in the chamber.
Have fun!

Hey PerversPepere! What do you have for a Ross? Full length military specimen or sporter? How long have you had yours? Are they common in Quebec?
 
Nice rifle cantom, just a quick note though. Your front sight hood is on backwards. Just remove the two screws and flip'er around;) You'll love the Ross, great bit of fun to shoot.

Edit: cantom yours maybe right, mine maybe on backwards:redface: I'll check into it.

I have two: a sportered M-10 which was offered to me by a friend of mine (Dark Lady) as a souvenir of her deceased father.
That M-10 shoots very well indeed when fed with good Winchester ammo and 180gr. bullets.
The other one is a bubbaed Ross 1905 with a strange sight and metal still uncut.

The guy I got it from told me it was bought from an old man living in Montmagny, Québec.
The only things missing are the front part of the stock, the front upper handguard and assorted endcaps and barrel bands. The chamber has been rechambered at one time and gives up spent shells bearing a very remote resemblance with usual .303 British ammo. Nevertheless, it shoots well and cast bullets are a very good option in it.

Gibbs505- Please, Sir- you have a Ross Mark 3, not an M-10. Totally different beast.

I understand your frustration and you're no doubt right...but the rifles don't say Mk 3 anywhere unless they have the original unsanded stock...even the Canadian Firearms Centre has mine registered as an M10...it's like trying to hold back high tide...:cool:
