The Ross Rifle

These are pretty cool videos IMO one of the few Canadian gun manufacturers. These where the days before internet and the metallurgy we have to-day.

Good info on how to put the rifle (bolt) back together after you clean it.

Have a mklll homeguard rifle. The most accurate iron sight rifle I own. Always puts a smile on my face when I shoot it.

Skeletonized handles are a bad idea for a pistol. The dirt would be in there immediately spoiling your day.

I read somewhere that the Ross rifle action, probably the m10 was super strong even by today's standards. I think the thing survived a full load of pistol powder and it kept on ticking. My old Ross it a tack driver

Interesting.
I wonder if there are any drawings of what that pistol was meant to look like when it was finished.
