Description
1/19/22 - This is an uncommon and interesting Ross Mk.II rifle, also referred to as the 1905. From Wikipedia: "The Ross rifle is a straight-pull bolt action .303 inch-calibre rifle that was produced in Canada from 1903 until 1918. The Ross Mk.II (or "model 1905") rifle was highly successful in target shooting before World War I, but the close chamber tolerances, lack of primary extraction and length made the Mk.III (or "1910") Ross rifle unsuitable for the conditions of trench warfare, exacerbated by the often poor quality ammunition issued. By 1916, the rifle had been withdrawn from front line service but continued to be used by many snipers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force until the end of the war due to its exceptional accuracy." This is the first example we've offered so we don't know much about these, but finish appears original with some thinning on the receiver and front bands, and it has some splotchy areas on the receiver, as well. There are clear proofs and cartouches on the right side of the stock but we aren't certain their meaning. Bore has strong rifling but frost throughout. Stock is in very good condition with minor handling wear and a couple of scratches on the left side.Specifications
