US Marked CANADIAN Mark II ROSS Model 1905 Straight Pull C&R MILITARY Rifle
.303 Caliber Infantry Rifle Used in WWI and WWII
Here we present a C&R U.S. Marked Canadian Mark II Ross Model 1905 Straight Pull Infantry Rifle, made circa 1908 in Quebec, Canada with a production run between 1903 and 1918. In all, approximately 420,000 Ross service rifles were produced, 342,040 of which were purchased by the British. During the Second Boer War (1899-1902), a minor diplomatic fight broke out between Canada and the United Kingdom, after the U.K. refused to license the Lee–Enfield SMLE design for production in Canada. Sir Charles Ross offered to finance the construction of a factory in Canada to produce his newly designed straight-pull rifle for Canadian service. This offer was accepted by the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Ross was awarded his first contract in 1903 for 12,000 Mark I Ross rifles. After various complaints had been received on the Mark I, the rifle was re-designed to address these issues. After these issues were addressed, these rifles were re-designated as the Ross Mark II Rifle.
The overall condition is very good. The action is strong. The bore is in nice shape! The example sports a solid stock and is dated “1908”. Both US and Canadian markings can be seen on the right buttstock and behind the trigger guard. An interesting piece of Canadian and US history from the period of the Great War!
