Canadian Ross Mark II Straight Pull Bolt Action Rifle With US Cartouche .303 British
This straight pull bolt action rifle was made by the Ross Rifle Co. in Quebec Canada and is chambered in .303 British. It features a hooded blade front sight and adjustable rear notch sight on a 28" barrel. The receiver is marked on the left side "Ross Rifle Co. Quebec Canada 1905, Patented" and has a 5 round internal magazine with cutoff inside the trigger guard. The stock is fitted with stacking and sling swivels with tan nylon sling and steel butt plate with empty storage compartment. The stock is marked on the right side with what look to be unit markings and behind the trigger guard with several stamps, including the Flaming Bomb with "US" cartouche. This indicates that this was likely one of the rifles Canada sold to the US during WWI and saw service as a training rifle for US troops, to make available more 1903 and 1917 rifles for the front line troops. LOP: 13 3/4". CALIBER/GA: .303 British. S/N: NSN. FFL: Curio & Relic.
Condition
Bore is shiny with good rifling. Mechanics are good.
