Huot: Canada’s Ross-based Prototype Automatic Rifle from WW1

Patreon: Teespring: Facebook: Due to a shortage of Lewis guns and a glut of withdrawn Ross rifles once the Canadian Expeditionary Force had been completely re-equipped with Lee-Enfield SMLE rifles, Monsieur Huot proposed to modify Ross rifles into an automatic rifle / light machine gun (LMG) configuration. 5 of these are known to exist, this is number 2, and is in the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada museum in Vancouver: Many thanks to them for the opportunity to handle and film this exceptionally rare piece!
