Ross rifles were mentioned in the first posst.  These Canadian infantry rifles were mostly dropped on the W.W. 1 battlefield by the Canucks in favor of the British Lee Enfield, of the same caliber.  Obviously the Ross rifles were no prize and not much admired by the Canucks.  The problem was they were very suceptible to malfunction due to dirt ingestion, etc. and were not the most accurate weapon in the War.

But, also, the Real Danger is that the revolving bolt head on these rifles can be assembled and installed in the gun so that the lugs will Not Lock Up when you fire the rifle.  Having a bolt shot back into your head could be a very fatal event!
