2015-12-09 06:22:38 +0000 UTCHow does a properly maintained Ross compare to other straight-pulls of the era? The bolt on my Hungarian M95 is a bitch and a half to put back together; seems like the entire concept just isn't as bulletproof as a regular bolt gun. I've never disassembled a Schmidt-Rubin or a Vetterli but I can't imagine getting the action to cam was any less complex (could be wrong though!)
