The Ross rifle was designed and made in Canada. It was used by most Canadian forces from the start of the war until mid-1916, when it was replaced with the British-made Lee-Enfield. The Ross was a fine shooting rifle but not robust enough for the trenches and the technical deficiencies of mass-produced British ammunition.
