Is this bolt assembled right?
It is missing part of the rear sight above the bolt? Is this needed to safely fire the ross m-10? Will the bolt pop off and hit me in the face?

Is there any where that sells the rear sight parts? Online store or just source it out on the EE or internet?
 
The bolt looks good it should be about an inch from the end of the bolt sleeve to the front of the bolt head. You don't need the rear sight bridge to fire the gun it's fine with out it. if you do take this bolt apart make sure you remember how to put it back together if your bolt isn't pinned, if it is pinned you can't put it together wrong.
 
You are missing the entire rear charger bridge assembly, including the rear sight. Has a sight been fitted to the barrel?
 
There are essentially three bridges for the 1910 patttern rifles.
Mk. III service rifle bridge with charger guide and rear sight; plain bridge without any provision for a rear sight for 1910E and 1910R sporting rifles; bridge with pop-up Porter peep sight for M-10 .280 rifle.
Is your rifle a sported Mk. III or an R sporter?

Wrong

The 1910 / m10 Ross rifle is the rifle that had the problems with incorrectly assembled bolts.

Perhaps if the Stickie above in this Milsurps Section on the 1910 Ross Bolt Disassembly is read, it will answer the OP's question.

Please solve my mystery experts. Which model and which year? I know nothing about ross other than it kicks ass and Canadian!!!!!

Which bridge to order or are they all the same?
 
The bridges are not the same. There are three different ones. You won't be able to just order one, but you might be able to obtain one by advertising in the EE.
It is hard to tell from your photos, but..... Is there a band around the barrel where the front sling swivel is mounted? An "R" on top of the breech of the barrel? A serial number stamped with figures about 1/16" tall on the left side of the barrel breech? If so, it is a factory sporter.
If not, it is a sported Mk. III service rifle.
 
The factory sporter has a barrel band into which the sling swivel screws. I'm not talking about a band which wraps around the stock.
A sporter has a slimmer, lighter barrel than the service rifle.
Look on the left side of the barrel breech for a serial number. Just above the wood line. If there is a number there, the rifle is most likely a sporter.
 
That is probably part of a British proof mark, which described the cartridge as 2.222" long. Most likely the rifle is a sported service rifle. If the rifle shoots accurately with the sight on the barrel, there is no real need to replace the rear bridge assembly.
 
If it shoots well, it is a good rifle. If you want a serious collector's piece, it falls a bit short.
