What if instead of adopting the self loading M1 Garrand as it's standard infantry rifle in the 1930's the United States military keeps using the bolt action M1903 Springfield? The reasons for the change aren't important, maybe they just couldn't afford it because of the Depression, but what are the effects? during the war there are probably more American servicemen killed and maybe there's a greater issue of the M1 Carbine and squad automatic weapons like the BAR, but what about post war? I can't see the post war US Army waiting until the M14 comes into service in the late 50's like OTL, more likely they'd want an SLR or even an assault rifle by 1950, so what would they look at?
