Just a note to let you know that my Dad NEVER trusted those darn new fangled semi-auto M-1 Garands (my favorite WW2 rifle)... He carried an 03-A3 Springfield from North Africa to Sicily to Normandy and almost all the way to Berlin...

My Dad didn't like the M-1 either. But it was for a different reason, the weight! BTW he was also in on the North Africa campaign as well as Sicily and Italy.
