The Ross Rifle Company sold three .280 high velocity rifles to Rough Rider Reginald Ronalds. The company has changed the dimensions of the .280’s cartridges and would like to recall their rifles in order to adjust them appropriately. Because Ronalds in turn gave one of the rifles to President Roosevelt, the company would like him to mail the rifle to them so they can adjust it for free.
