12/1/23 – This is a rare Canadian Ross M-10 Mk III rifle from World War I. The Ross rifle was used in Canada from 1903 to 1918, but the close chamber tolerances, lack of primary extraction and 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 By 1916, the rifle had been withdrawn from front line service but continued to be used by many snipers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force until the end of the war due to its exceptional accuracy. This particular example is in good condition overall, with the vast majority of bluing intact. Minor wear along the top of the receiver and on other high edges. The bore shows notable frost, grime and freckling throughout. Stock has many dings and handling wear but no cracks. It is 1916 dated and marked ‘DP’ on one side.
