The primary weapon of the WWII Marine was the M-1 Rifle. This is the standard firearm 2nd Marine members are expected to own and have clean and ready at each event.
The 1903 or 1903A3 Springfield rifle is an acceptable *temporary* second choice weapon. The use of the M-1 carbine, M-1897 Trenchgun and/or Thompson Sub-Machine gun is restricted to Non Commissioned Officers or weapons crews.
These are your only choices.
You must be able to legally own a firearm to participate with this unit.

16 in. M1 Garand bayonet with Scabbard.

In order to use blanks, your M 1 will need a Blank firing adapter. This is the most economical style.
