You are short a few, and heavy one.
I go back a bit before the Garand (several decades before), and the Duce was and still is a Heavy Machine Gun. You are forgetting the 1903 Springfield. And while the following are not called standard issue by most, I include them in the list. M1892 Rifle (30-40 Krag), M1885 Remington-Lee (.45-70 Gov), Trapdoor, and M1863 Rifle Musket. There are some minor ones missing in between, but they really were not different weapons, more like minor changes to the weapon itself.
I could have gone all the way back to the Colt revolving rifle, but I have to wait to inherit the rifles since then. My brother gets the Henry 44-26-200. Dad says we have to fight over it.
At one time my Grandfathers collection went all the way back to the Ferguson rifle. But much of his collection was burnt up in the 30s.
Then you have the DMILed M60, and the DMILed 240. But I would like to get my hands on a Class III SAW.
