I always thought that he carried a carbine, but Dad recently found some wartime pictures of him, and Grandpa was carrying a Springfield '03 in them.
I'm thinking of trading my '88 Springfield Trapdoor for an M-1 Carbine. Lightweight, ammo is available presently, and if my position is overrun, the thugs will find it an "odd-man out" for ammo.
