Description
IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION, WE HAVE A RARE US SURCHARED CANADIAN MILITARY MODEL 1905 ROSS RIFLE IN .303 CALIBER. THE ROSS RIFLE WAS AN EXTREMELY INNOVATIVE DESIGN FOR THE TIME, IT WAS A HIGHLY ACCURATE AND VERY FAST SHOOTING STRAIGHT PULL RIFLE. THIS RIFLE WAS FIELDED BY CANADIAN TROOPS AT THE BEGINNING OF WW1 WHERE IT FAILED TO STAND UP TO THE RIGORS OF COMBAT AND PROVED TO BE VERY FRAGILE AND UNDEPENDABLE. THE RIFLE WAS QUICKLY WITHDRAWN FROM COMBAT SERVICE AND WAS REPLACED WITH THE LEE ENFIELD. WHEN THE UNITED STATED ENTERED INTO THE WAR A SMALL NUMBER OF THESE RIFLES WERE OBTAINED FOR TRAINING PURPOSES BY THE ARMY. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THEM AND SHOULD BE A PART OF ANY US WW1 MARTIAL COLLECTION.
