Gun and gear reviews Ross M10.
Howdy folks ! First time gun owner and I received this gun from my late grandfather. Can anyone tell me more about it ? I'm gonna take it in and get it looked at before I shoot it.
Any suggestions, comments or concerns ?
I'm pretty stoked, lot of history in this rifle from what I've read.
Thanks !

Ill be the outlier, but if it has an unspoeterized barrel, has the mid band, sling swivels, butt plate, magazine, bolt and rear sight, in conjunction with clean rifling with no evidence of locking lug damage to the bolt head or chamber, I say go for the re-militarization.
Cons: Its gonna cost approximately 800 dollars to bring the rifle back to its pre-sporterized condition. Stock, front band and bayonet lug, front sight hood(?) And any screws you may need.
Its a fair chunk of change.
You'll get into reloading.
Pros: You inherited the rifle, so its less cost to you if you had bought it to remilitarize it.
You had one of the sexiest, beautiful rifles, with rich Canadian history.
You'll start reloading!
And in my personal opinion, with the investment of 800 Canadian, you have, in my opinion an increase in value of the firearm.
It would be a really fun firearm to learn to shoot iron sights at extended ranges.
The parts you'd need can be bought from Ross Rifle Restorations. He uses beautiful Black Walnut. You can even pay him to do all the stock finishing and fitting for you.
