Soo; I found this on Gunbroker.
I remembered Fresnel talking about it, so I decided to post it.

Pedersen made a rifle?

But no, I meant the Pedersen device. It was a drop-in action for the M1903.

I know what you meant. The link is to a Pederson device. = ]

But yes, there is a rifle called the "Pederson Rifle".

Actually, the link goes to a Pedersen Rifle.

WANT

Also looks like something from Resistance : Fall of man or something.

I wonder why they even bother putting up the "bid" section. The opening/minimum bid is the exact same as the buy price. If you're going to bid more than what the buy now price is then you are an idiot.

It's a piece of the history of the US arsenal. Imagine if the M1 Garand had not been OK'ed and this had become the standard rifle of the Army in the war?

I've seen smaller photos of this prototype rifle in my Small Arms of the World reference.

The biggest black eye against this one was the choice of the ammo. The US military had tons of .30-06 ammo and needed a rifle that would spend down the surplus. Thankfully, the M1 had just enough going for it to beat most others outright.

Definitely, since the game is based in 1951 with WWII era weaponry

If that were the case we'd be seeing a 30-grand M1 Garand up there instead.
