Marine Platoon organization 1941-45

The Mauser 98/M 1903A3 action is the most liked by people who build rifles from stock ones because of the the 3 lug locking action.

The Marines and the Army in 1941-42 in the Pacific (Philippines, Wake, Guadalcanal) were all still using the BAR/M 1903/M 1911 pistol. As far as I know the first US troops to take the M1 into combat were at Torch or possibly New Guinea.
