This video explores a rare Ross .30-06 self-loading prototype developed for British trials in 1913. It features a unique upside-down bolt action, a 25-round magazine, and innovative sheet metal construction for rapid prototyping. The rifle's design shows influences from the Lewis Gun and SMLE, highlighting early attempts at automatic fire for shoulder-fired weapons.
This experimental Ross Automatic Rifle, a conversion of the Ross M-10, showcases a unique mechanical forced-air cooling system driven by a fan powered by the bolt action. Unlike contemporary designs, it utilizes a direct gas-operated system with dual recoil springs and is modified for full-auto fire only. The rifle features significant stock modifications to accommodate the cycling bolt and ensure shooter clearance.
