I have a Garand and a Ross, both are well worth the effort to own. With the Garand you have the first semi auto in history that received credit for winning the war and all the following guns were based off of it, a super piece for anyones collection. Now, the Ross, has a confused history of which I will clean up. The gun did not do well in the trenches during the war if it had to injest dirty ammo, such as covered in mud whereas the Enfield would fire anyhting and was the favored rifle. First of all the Enfields chamber was machined on the loose side to compensate for dirty ammo. The Ross was built to such extreme tight tolerences that it could not use dirty ammo without jammimg, and the bolt design of the m10 led itself to be rerassembled wrong which caused the issues, not the gun itself. The Ross guns floating around to the best of my knowledge have had the bolt riveted so that the operator could not screw it up. The bolt design is super stong and nothing to be afraid of. And as far as being a quality shooter, the Ross riflke was the prefered rifle of the snipers because it was so dam accurate. I love my Ross, I love my Enfield but the Ross is better built and am proud to own and shoot them both. There are few M10 Rosses floating around, so if you find a nice one, with the bolt revited, give it good concideration for your collection.
