Don't know much about the BAR, but I know alot about humping gear in the boonies. Every friggin' ounce will increase your percieved exertion by an order of magnitude.

The M1 Garand is a KISS simple weapon. If these were the only choices, the M1 would be mine. Plus you can use the weight differential as more ammo! It can be scoped with a degree of success,(although the weird cheek weld and sight alignment sits poorly with my Marine makrsmanship lessons),is tough as nails, and the parts are easily replaced.

Regards,
S.
