− | <i>Sight, Ross Mk II</i> proved more fragile than desired, and it was replaced with a simpler version, the <i>Sight, Ross Mk III</i>. Instead of a curved bend to the slider, they employed a straight slider with curve-cut sides bent down. The official nomenclature for this model was <i>Rifle, Ross Mk II with Sight, Ross Mk III</i>. The 28 inch barrel was retained, the sight change being the difference. As before, further improvements would be introduced to production without bothering to change the designation. | + | <i>Sight, Ross Mk II</i> proved more fragile than desired, and it was replaced with a simpler version, the <i>Sight, Ross Mk III</i>.
