1905 nose cap replacement
I've just finished the restoration of my 1905 rifle except for the nose cap. I know that these are impossible to find. I seem to remember a discussion somewhere that said there were replacements that would fit. This would be temporary and cosmetic until I can find a nose cap. My goal is a complete restoration, so this would be, once again, temporary.

Let me know the asking price as soon as you decide. I've already paid a lot for the parts to restore this rifle. It's,only money, what the hey!

I lucked out this weekend, and bought a complete MkIII stock, with nose cap, butt blate, midband, and sling swivels for ..............40 bucks! Also bought a 280 Ross sporter. Sadly a previous owner has put claw mounts on the action, the rear wouldn't be a major problem, as I can replace the altered rear "bridge," but the front reciever ring has been dovetailed to fit the front claw mount base. Still the barrel looks good, and the rifle came with dies, some bullets, brass, and bump up die, to expand 284 dia bullets to 288 dia.
Also bought a "sporterized" MkIII, and will see what can be done to revive this to its former military fit. Lastly, I bought a rear sight, complete, for 20 bucks. All in all, I lucked out, big time. So, on to refurbishing a couple more Ross'!

Kanterj: apologies for highjacking your thread. Kind of went off topic, here.

Brian, that looks amazing! I have a nosecap I believe may have been from a MkII**. I need to verify with some of the collectors more in the know that it is in fact that style of cap. If it is I may make my replacement stock for my MkIII using a P14 nosecap. I could then send you this one as a template. It is missing the screws, bayo lug, and is in rough shape overall but it is what it is. Let me know if you are interested and we'll figure it out.
