The U.S. Army WWI rifle, made in Canada, in .303 British: the 1905 Ross Mk. II 3*

An American-Canadian .303 British World War I military rifle… there is so much going on with this 1905 Ross Mk.II (technically, Mark II 3*). In many ways it had three lives. First, it was a cutting edge battle rifle, at least briefly. When the Ross failed to hold up to the miserable conditions of trench warfare, it was relegated to storage but found a second life in the hands of U.S. doughboys, training in 1917 and 1918. A generation later, the remaining Ross rifles owned by the U.S. government went back to Canada in 1940 as Lend-Lease, to train Canadian soldiers in the early days of World War II. Just a fun, sweet shooting rifle, I can’t wait to spend more trigger time with!
