WW1 1916 Presentation .280 Calibre Sporting Rifle Manufactured From A Canadian Ross M-10 Straight Pull Military Rifle General Sir Bader Shum Shere Jung Bahadur Delhi. D 1228

This is a WW1 Era .280 Calibre Sporting Rifle Manufactured From A Canadian Ross M-10 Straight Pull Military Rifle. The Ross rifle was a straight-pull bolt action .303 inch-calibre rifle produced in Canada from 1903 until 1918. The rifles were issued to the Canadian Army. Although these rifles were proven and popular target rifles they were found unsuitable for the conditions of trench warfare and in 1916 were withdrawn from Canadian Military service making these sought after rifles now hard to find. This presentation sporting rifle made from a Ross M-10 has all original wood and metal work and it's straight pull cocking and firing actions work perfectly. The breech is crisply marked 'Ross Rifle Co Canada M-10 Patented' and '280 Ross Proved 28 Tons, Made In Canada 17223'. The barrel is engraved ' From General Sir Bader Shum Shere Jung Bahadur Rana K.I.C.I.E. Delhi 1916'. It has a block and blade foresight and flip up 'sporting' leaf rear sight which is stamped '0-500'. It is fitted with forward sling swivel lug and it's sporting stock with chequered panels and steel butt plate are undamaged.
