I was absolutely stunned last week to see an M1 Garand being carried by a soldier in the mess hall in Baghdad. True he was on the color guard but this was not a drill rifle, it was fully functioning.
The rule in the chow hall is that you "must carry" or you will not be served. He was carrying the weapon he was issued. Nice to know that it is still around nearly three generations later.
