I’m for the original - M1 Garand. That puppy would fire in all kinds of weather, take more abuse than a rented mule and was, according to General Patton, the best rifle ever made.
Some of my fellow Marines told me about smearing axle grease on the M1 to keep it firing in the Frozen Chosin.

Somewhat heavier, but make mine the WWI variant of the BAR; full-auto and belt-fed.

Ever tote an M-1 around all day in 120 degree heat?

A friend of mine told me he had to pi$$ on his Garand because it froze solid during the Battle of the Bulge.
