    1905 MkII Ross carbine???

    WWI Canadianicon Ross VGC 303 NON IMPORT 1905 : Curios & Relics at GunBroker.com


    I wanted to know if there was such a thing, but to me, this looks like a cut down rifle. I searched and thought I found a picture of a carbine version of the Ross that looked really close to this, but not quite. I can't find the picture now. The front sight looks too close to the muzzle, and the stock protruded past the barrel band more than the one listed on Gunbroker.

    Any chance this one is legit? Yes or no, are they out there in case I stumble on one?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Francis Bannerman and Co. cut a number of US Ross M1905 rifles down to carbine length.
