This video explores a rare toolroom prototype of the Ross rifle from approximately 1909, designated "H5". This experimental rifle was developed to address the Canadian military's need for charger clip compatibility, a feature missing in the successful Ross MkII (1905). The "H5" incorporates a combined stripper clip guide and rear sight, a staggered Mauser-type magazine, a Lee Enfield buttstock, and a Springfield bolt stop, along with a thinner barrel profile. Despite these innovations, the Ross MkIII ultimately did not adopt most of these unique features.
