    Too bad the firearms are lost to history. @ least Audie Murphy's Carbine made it to a museum.

      In fact, we don't know what kind of rifle he used. Almost all Infantrymen were issued the M1917 Enfield, not the M1903 Springfield, yet there is a persistent tradition that he used the M1903.

        I think that tradition is based on the movie. My money is on the M1917.
