Ross Rifle Co. Canada M-1910 Patented - Porn

These just don't come around every day. So, I took plenty of pics, in the shade and sunlight, to show and share.

Ross M-1910 MK III, 1914, in .303 British, straight pull.

Not perfect, as it is missing the swivels on the trigger guard (ground off) and buttstock, but it isn't butchered down for sporting, and it's in incredible condition for a WWI Veteran.

Likely won't be upgradable in my lifetime. Enjoy, and thanks for looking.

A Ross is next on my list after I build up the bank account from my P14. I've got a feeling it'll take quite a bit of building up to get a Ross as nice as this one.

Congrats, and thanks for posting.

That's the nicest Ross I've ever seen, makes me wish I had kept mine (it was no where near that one though)

Cool gun, it looks like so many different guns when viewed quickly.

Thanks, all.

With WWI action, rebuild programs and even support troop issuance in WWII, it is nearly against all odds that this rifle would have escaped any major changes since it was built in 1914.

Most of these guns are found with many marks on the buttstock, indicating use such as with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces (CEF), Canadian Reserve Battalion (CRB), the Home Guard (H.G.), British Naval marks, etc. The rifles shipped to Europe were also marked on the metal with either an E or LC, to indicate a chamber reaming which was done to reduce the occurrence of sticking brass.

There were also upgrades done to the rear sight, bolt stop, and bayonet lug. Most bolts were drilled and riveted to prevent incorrect assembly.

How this one made it through life without any issuance stamps or upgrades in such a demanding era is somewhat of a mystery.

Finding one of these rifles in its original configuration is next to impossible (it really is), but finding one with a non-sporterized stock is frankly ridiculous. Nicest and most original example I've seen, not in a museum. Hell of a box to check in your collection. Congratulations.
