As to mis-assassmbly resulting in blowing the bolt out, didn't Ackley say this was impossible - also noted probably due to plugged bores or other indiscretions, but blamed on the rifle itself instead of stupidity?

Perhaps the bolt Ackley attempted to get together incorrectly, was a pinned one.
I don't think Ackley ever actually tried or tested this.
From memory, I think he claimed that if it had happened, it must have been rare, and that any reported blow ups with the Ross rifle could have been caused by other means. Or words to that effect.
My soft cover Ackley books disintegrated years ago, and are now just a pile of loose out of order sheets kept in a plastic bag.
Must dig them out one day and try some sort of repair!
