A lighter Garand? How much recoil you willing to absorb?

If you’re serious about fighting, 9.5 pounds aren’t a problem.

FWIW, .30 cal battle rifles all seem to weigh about 8-10lb.

“How much recoil you willing to absorb?”

With a compensator and recoil piston you might get down to 7 lbs and carry an additional 2.5 lbs ammo.

Or maybe a polymer Garand in 7.62x39?
