Best Answer

Canadian manufactured military firearms have typically been firearms with origins in other countries which were manufactured under licence in Canada (e.g., the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield Rifle, the C1 Self Loading Rifle [based on the British L1A1, itself based on the FN FAL], variants of the M16 and M4 manufactured as the C7 and C8). One notable exception to this was the Ross rifle, which went into production in 1905. It used a straight pull bolt, and fired the British 7.7x56R (.303) cartridge. However, it was found to be problematic in the mud during WWI, and was quickly replaced by the Lee-Enfield rifle, although it remained popular with snipers and sharpshooters.
