An interesting question came up on the M-10 chambering. The only cartridge the M-10 or M1910 sporting rifle was chambered in was .280 Ross. Now, this does not mean all rifles with a receiver marked M-10 or M1910 was chambered in .280 Ross. Quite the contrary. The military version (MkIII) (with the receiver ring marked either M-10 or M-1910) will be found in .303 British. The E-10 Sporting Rifle (marked M-10 or M-1910) on the receiver, or the R-10 Sporting rifle marked the same on the receiver, will be found in .303 British or .35 WCF, and were not available in .280 Ross. Someone told me once there were eight or nine variations of the Ross rifle marked M-10 or M1910 - and only one is actually an M-10 or M-1910 (which was the .280 sporting rifle).

Great rifle Steve, thanks for sharing it with us. So is the only change, to make it a left-handed action, is to move the bolt handle? It sure looks like they copied the bolt release and magazine cutoff from the 1903 Springfield.

Fred - thanks for the compliment on my Ross. Yes, the bolt handle is the only alteration. In fact, I have a regular right-handed bolt with the rifle. To switch to a right-handed rifle, all that is needed is to swap the bolts.

Wow, that is really impressive. I think that is perhaps the most versatile left-handed conversion a person could ever ask for.

That conversion reminds me of the left hand operating rod for the Swiss K31. A Swiss named Burgin developed them. I wonder if he was inspired by this predecessor. I have owned and used three of them. But I’d chuck them all for this rifle. Nice find! I now use Blasers because of the straight pull left handed convenience. The have synthetic stocks and not nearly as pretty as this one.
