True enough, but thread originally started with "the .303 that Grandpappy carried over there" kinda thing.

OK Ross fan's . I finally got to see this rifle today .The bad news first it is not a full wood . It is a Mk II , It has the the top wood from the receiver to the front sight but not ahead of the sight . there is no barrel band & the for stock is cut back ( sporterized ) Every thing else looks original The bluing is 100 % no wear marks but dose not look like it has been re blued . the lettering is crisp no sign of being polished . Says Ross 1905 on side of receiver along with Montreal Canada . The rifle & bore are like new . Question were these rifles converted & sold as sporting rifles by a company ? & what would a ball park price be for one as I described it . Sorry no pic's yet
It could be anything from a factory sporter to a cut down Bubbaed military model. Pics would do wonders, between all the people on here (mainly Rossguy
) we can narrow it down for you a lot.longbranch*

Do the markings on the butt look like these? This is a 1905 MKII, in this case a 3* (***), to be exact. Apparently MKII's made it as far as England, but were not taken to the front as I understand it. They remained in England for training.
