Hi, I have a Ross Mk3 that was cut down many years ago before I inherated it but it is such a good shooter that I would like to put a decent stock on it. Does anyone know where I could pick one up. Any hints would be appreciated

You're pretty much limited to finding another Ross and taking the stock off of it...unfortunately I'm not kidding.
 
Might be worth it to post a pic, just to see what you're dealing with. If your stock is cut in the right place and still shows markings, you could sell it and buy a buggered one to build up to your liking.
 
Sorry I quess I wasn't clear enough. Not only the stock has been cut down and heavily sanded but also the barrel has been shortened. I beleave that this was done by some store??? some time back as I have seen other pictures the same as this one. Sorry I'm not able to post a picture as I'm a ay on holidays for the next few weeks. I was acutally thinking of a sporter stock in this case

Thanx Easttrout
 
Target Sales sold many that were cut down and sanded, with a shiny poly type finish, and ventilated recoil pad. Three barrel lengths, I think the original uncut barrel was sold as "The Plainsman", can't remember what the others were called. Mid fifties vintage, I think. Have to dig up the ad later.......
 
Don Robinson used to offer a sporting semi finished Ross stock. Perhaps one of the current stock carvers in Canada might have a pattern. IIRC, Wilson acquired Don's patterns.
 
try and find a gun shop that has a stock maker, a friend of mine has onem but he is never home much do to his job, but you put a blank chunk of wood in it, and a old stock and it will shape it to size
 
Mine is likely one of the cut down models Bushman mentioned. It has what is left of an vented pad and a bit of finish left. It deserves better than that

you can saw-off the perchbelly butt with a table saw and match a piece of walnut and shape things grip-to heel from there I bought mine for 75.00 and dad cleaned-it up and we put a one-piece Redfield 700 LA turn-in base on-it and I shot my first moose with it with a weaver K2.5. I love that gun. It's got a pachmyr pad too.
 
Possibly try Great American Gunstock. They have a website (just google the name) and I was told they were familiar with the Ross. Don't expect cheap, especially if high end wood is ordered. Not even sure if they can ship to Canada. Drop them an e-mail to find out and let us know the results.
