The Mk1* Ross represents the first attempt at refining the MkI Ross rifle for service use. The primary change was with the fragile sights of the original issue. On the MkI* both the front and rear were upgraded, with service use in mind. The Ross rifle Story, indicates there were approximately 9000 of the Mk1 built, with very few ever seen on the market in this condition. Action operates correctly albeit stiff, (which was one of the original complaints)Cartouches are strong, with issue marking to more than one unit. DP marked, as these rifles were soon regulated to training rifles only as subsequent mk's were adopted..
Rare, VG + condition, Full length military stock, complete and original except for missing forward handguard and its retaining band. Wood is sound and various marks from service, Metal shows approx 50% original blue with remaining plum and freckling. 28" barrel, Bore rates good+. Howard Collection.s/n 832J
