This Canadian Ross Rifle Mk II (Model 1905) is in good shape for being over 120 years old. It has rare "U.S." markings on the stock. The distinctive straight pull action should make for some fast shooting and its markings make it a candidate for a Military collection.
In 1917, the U.S. Government purchased 20,000 Ross rifles and bayonets from
Canada. These were intended for use in troop training due to the shortage of rifles
and bayonets during the First World War. They were marked with U.S and the
Ordnance Dept. Flaming Bomb acceptance mark.
We believe this is one of those rifles.
