"Rare and often misunderstood, the U.S. Marine Corps .22 Long Rifle caliber MC-58 training rifle is nonetheless an interesting footnote to American and Marine Corps history. Designed to replicate the “feel” of the M1 Garand for recruits, the MC-58 ultimately rode on the coattails of the M14 service rifle, and suffered the M14’s same abbreviated service life."

A rimfire that replicated the M1 Garand for U.S. Marine Corps recruits, the MC-58 rifle is a fascinating footnote in U.S. military history.
