is the M1 Garand, 1903 still in active use?

A current issue weapon may be suitable for Troops deployed to an active area, but for ceremonial purposes a modern issue rifle does not compare with iron and wood.

Agreed.

I'd like to caveat my earlier post that I was saying that's why we use the M14 and 1903 vs. the Krag and other pre-1900 firearms. I was not saying they use the M14 instead of the M16 because they have them lying around.

With that said, the Brits do a pretty good job with a bullpup. (5:05 mark)
