    So what I hear you telling me is that you like the Ross rifle. Actually so do I. Think it is a great rifle. That said, I believe, as one whose grandfather crawled with a rifle through the mud at Ypres and the Somme, whose father with a rifle crawled through the mud of a few Pacific Islands and one who crawled through the mud of that tropical paradise called Vietnam that the Ross was not particularly suited for the trench warfare of the Western Front. IF it had come two decades earlier, in time for the Boer War and the open South African Veldt, then it would more likely have been the star of the day.


    But then, that's only the opinion of one old man, isn't it?
