Original Item: One of a Kind. The Ross rifle is a straight-pull bolt action .303 inch-calibre rifle that was produced in Canada from 1903 until 1918. The Ross Mk.II (or “model 1905”) rifle was highly successful in target shooting before World War I, but the close chamber tolerances, lack of primary extraction and overall length made the Mk.III (or “1910”) Ross rifle unsuitable for the conditions of trench warfare, exacerbated by the often poor quality ammunition issued. By 1916, the rifle had been withdrawn from front line service, but continued to be used by many snipers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force until the end of the war due to its exceptional accuracy.

After WWI most were disposed of, and they were readily available for “projects, which is what happened to this example. The butt stock was removed, and converted into a very nice remembrance frame, with a photo of the soldier mounted under a glass panel. It was put in from the other side, and secured from the back with small nails. There is also a Canadian Maple leaf carved onto the top where it was cut off from the rest of the stock.

Items like this make great display pieces, and sometimes also great research projects. We have not removed the photo, so we do not know if there is any writing on the back. It measures 11″ x 4 1/2″ x 1 1/2″, and has a mounting ring on the back for attaching to a wall.
