This video delves into the Canadian Ross MkIII sniper rifle, specifically focusing on its modification and use during World War I. Despite its problematic service as an infantry rifle due to ammunition issues, the Ross found success as a sniper weapon. The video highlights the Canadian modification of 500 Ross rifles with American Warner & Swasey M1913 'Musket Sight' scopes, detailing the scope's features and identification markers. While the scope had its flaws, it was a readily available solution for equipping Canadian snipers when British resources were strained. The rifles were produced in two batches, and many remained in Canada for training, even seeing use until 1942.
