Royal NW Mounted Police Ross MkI Carbine & MkII Rifle
This video delves into the history and details of the Royal North West Mounted Police's use of the Ross MkI Carbine and MkII Rifle. It highlights the carbines as the only factory-made Ross carbines, their early production issues in 1904-1905, and the RNWMP's subsequent replacement with MkII rifles. The description details the MkII's delayed arrival, storage by the police commissioner due to quality concerns, a devastating warehouse fire that destroyed most of them, and the eventual adoption of Lee Enfield carbines. The video thanks a collector for providing the firearms for demonstration.
