That's a good article, and I'll also give JB a big thumb's up and a thank you for that. Always been fascinated by both Ross rifles themselves and the .280 Ross chambering. Have never even seen a Ross in person and I've been going to gun shows for darn near 50 years now. My paternal grandfather was also over there, back then, with the Canadian Machine Gun Corps for 17 months from late summer/early fall 1917 until January 1919. I always wondered how common the Ross's were by the time he got there; as I understand it, they were pretty much replaced by the SMLE's by then (?). The machine gun's were crew served weapons and he was part of a crew so he wasn't exactly a front line grunt. JB has re-ignited my curiosity on that subject with that excellent piece.
