EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Rifle, Bolt Action, Ross M1910 Mk III in .303 caliber, a straight-pull bolt action rifle manufactured by the Ross Rifle Company in Canada around 1915. The rifle, which was originally designed for military use during World War I, is depicted with cleaning tools stowed in the buttstock, indicating that it is being properly maintained. After the war, this Ross M1910 Mk III underwent conversion to become a match shooter, making it a valuable asset for precision shooting competitions. The rifle's distinctive features include its smooth, straight-pull bolt action, which allows for quicker reloading compared to traditional bolt-action rifles. The rifle's sleek design, combined with its historical significance, makes it a highly sought-after collector's item. The Ross Rifle Company, founded in 1891, was a pioneer in the production of military rifles in Canada. This particular rifle, with its rich history and excellent condition, is a testament to the company's innovative engineering and manufacturing capabilities during that era. The attached bayonet, dated to 1965, adds an additional layer of intrigue to this already fascinating piece of history. In summary, this photograph captures the essence of a historical artifact that not only represents a significant moment in military history but also showcases the craftsmanship and innovation of the Ross Rifle Company during the early 20th century.
