Sounds like maybe an M1 Carbine which is a scaled down version of the M1 Garands pictured above. It shoots a pleasant little cartridge that's somewhat similar to a .38Spl/.357Mag. They used a 20/30 rd detachable magazine and also came in paratrooper (folding stock) and fully auto flavors. It saw service in WWII-Vietnam in the hands of NCOs and officers.

The M1 Garand (standard issue in WWII and Korea) is fed by stuffing an 8rd clip of 30-06 into the top. The top one is a sniper conversion, but they never saw much use--more of a curiosity than anything else. The M1903A4 (a bolt action Springfield w/ scope--i.e. sniper in Saving Private Ryan) was much more commonly used in that role.

The gvmt had several huge rebuild programs after both WWII and Korea--most of the M1's got refurbished then. I didn't really do much to them other then clean up the wood a bit.

They're a hoot to shoot.

ay so we went out in the kansas woods- i'm from newyork- and we all had these guns- i believe the clip went in th ebottom-yuo could shoot them as fast as you could pull the trigger-that poor squierel(sp) was hopping all ver the place trees were falling and still he got away- great time
then off to the dump- this was 20 yrs ago- throw a pineapple in and out come the rats and snakes-the the roar of fire yeeehaaa!
he had a whole garage of ammo and these guns
