's okay, gnu. The small arms in Canada are now produced by Colt Canada, a subsidiary of Colt firearms. Canada hasn't produced a quality military rifle. Here's what is said about the Ross Rifle:

[The deficiencies of the Ross] rifles were made apparent during the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915. The rifle showed poor tolerance of dirt when used in field conditions, particularly the screw threads operating the bolt lugs, jamming the weapon open or closed. Another part of the jamming problem came from the bolt's outer face hitting the bolt stop, then deforming the thread shape. The bolt could also be disassembled for routine cleaning and inadvertently reassembled in a manner that would fail to lock but still allow a round to be fired, leading to serious injury or death of the operator as the bolt flew back into into his face. Another well-known deficiency was the tendency for the bayonet to fall off the rifle when the weapon was fired.

"Well, dang! My bayonet just fell off, eh?" "Probably should have seen the doctor after seeing that young lady, Sam."
