I need to ask for help from some of you. I've been working on restoring a Ross MkI* sporter for a while and haven't had much luck yet. A big problem I am facing is that it's the only example I have access to so I really don't know what the parts I am looking for look like or measure for size. If any one here would be willing to photograph some of the parts I am missing or if anyone has any suggestions for places or people to ask outside of the usual sources I would greatly appreciate some help.

I need the mag cut off lever, the spring for the ejector, sling swivels and a nose cap. I was told a MkII Ross nose cap can be made to work as well.

The plan is to try and fabricate what I can not find.

Thanks for the help!
 
Thanks a bunch Moonshot that helped. That pic of the mag cut off lever helped a bunch and I'm going to try and build a spring for the ejector out of a rewind spring for a snowmobile or chainsaw or something.
 
Scoot over to milsurps dot com and take a look on the Military Knowledge Library, in the section where they post on individual rifles. I'm pretty sure they have one of these on there, a "photo tour" with superb close-ups of every part of the rifle.

What parts in particular do you need info regarding?
 
Hey Smellie, again you came through. I checked the MKL briefly after putting the kids to bed, no MkIs. So I decided to search the site and found a bunch of photos Boltaction had posted of his there. The ones of the nosecap and of the mag cut off switch helped a bunch. I now basically understand what the lever was and I think I'm going to try and build one here with my mini lathe and some small hand tools. See what I can come up with any way.

The mag cut off switch was one of the main items I'm looking for info on as well as the nosecap, sling swivels, and the ejector spring. With the ejector spring I can guess at dimensions because of the areas where blueing has been rubbed off of the inside of the receiver as well as the remnants of the old spring that are still attached to the ejector. Just the location and shape of the bends on that spring are hard to judge but I can play with it and figure something out to work there. I would give my eye teeth for some dimensions off of a mag cut off switch, nosecap and sling swivels. Detailed images of the mag switch and ejector spring would be a huge help as well.

I know what I build for it will never be as good as an original but at least it will be a representation of what once was.
