Gentlemen,

the reason that i know the answer to this question is that i own and shoot several ROSS 1905 rifles...

and yes, i always have a wee bit of doubt in the back of my mind that the bolt might come straight back out of the rifle...

i feel the same way about my .236 Lee Navy

early on in my gun collecting - aquiring life i discovered that much of the lore passed on to us in books, magazines, movies, and around the proverbial campfire have little or no basis in reality

safety 1st is a good mantra to strictly adhere to at all times

but life experiance and actual real world field testing weigh heavily as well

let lifes questions spur you onti actual research

2 facts to consider...

1: i am blessed to own several hundred firearms and to have spent much of my life working proffesionaly with guns

2: i learn something new every day and my "expertise" has a somewhat limited and narrow focus

the 1905 Ross is as safe as the 1903 springfield

JMHO

Best Regards, Mike.
