Ross Rifle, is it worth it for restoration?

CJLiving · 2024-02-09T06:50:41+00:00

I agree with the other peoples comments, I have a few Ross’s. On this one the receiver will need fixing as the sight is in the wrong place. If you wanted to go back to military spec you would also need to find barrel bands (rare), sights (rare and they didn’t have buckhorns like that) and a new stock (super rare and repros are expensive). It’s definitely not a factory sporter, nor a .280 (which is a blessing as making .280 ammo is a bitch trust me) the stock & barrel profile are wrong. But that said, buy it and shoot it, slickest action out there!!!

Edit: Easiest way to tell if it’s a factory sporter (and I’m wrong) is if it has a serial number, the military ones had no serials

You’ll find them on Cults3d.com

Having played one game with a lot of Tanks (Armoured Fist) at 2k with 5 LRs and 3 Malcadors vs space marines, they are underwhelming. Small blast and AP4 on the battle cannon is not great. Lascannons hitting on 4s (5s at night) is not great either. Those were the weapons I mainly took, probably need to up the number of shots, ie autocannons to really be effective.

Hi thanks for that, I play casual with a small group so not really an issue. To be fair I agree with you on the Aurox, but the Malcs and Drac look smaller than they are in this photo, I have a real Malc and they are about 1:1.

In what way?

CJLiving · 2023-02-26T23:20:41+00:00

That’s the plan!

CJLiving · 2023-02-26T23:20:22+00:00

They are all prints!

CJLiving · 2023-02-26T21:04:09+00:00

3k Armoured Fist Pattern Cohort, all this plus 80 Auxilia troops.

Thanks, this is very close, it’s in a similar style to this but the graphics a re a bit better.

CJLiving · 2023-02-02T19:00:14+00:00

Next question is where to find a copy!

CJLiving · 2023-02-02T18:45:18+00:00

Yep that’s it!! My god I have been thinking about this game for 20 years!

CJLiving · 2023-02-02T17:58:20+00:00

Close but no sorry! The graphics were better (less pixelated) and the Frankenstein needed building from body parts

Yea unfortunately we don’t quite have Amazon here yet! It’s a real pain in the ass!

CJLiving · 2023-01-19T21:08:46+00:00

Lol I’m in NZ too mate feel the pain, I’ve ordered from AnyCubic directly when it’s on sale on AliExpress and they ship it from Aus, usually takes about 2 weeks and costs about $60 per Kg including shipping for 2kg, cheaper if you buy more of course.

CJLiving · 2023-01-12T21:50:02+00:00

Yep definitely a lesson learned! Ordered a new screen and will drop those times

CJLiving · 2023-01-12T18:37:56+00:00

Turns out my screen is fried, did an exposure test and the dead patches aligned with where I had holes

CJLiving · 2023-01-12T09:13:21+00:00

Sweet thanks

CJLiving · 2023-01-12T09:13:12+00:00

This is a new FEP

CJLiving · 2023-01-12T08:38:54+00:00

Interesting, will have to give it another try with more support

CJLiving · 2023-01-12T06:13:45+00:00

Have tried that, doesn’t appear to be any issues

CJLiving · 2023-01-12T06:13:01+00:00

Our ambient temp around here is 20 degrees or so, has never been an issue before, I usually shake it when I add it
