It sounds like you are describing a collar brass insignia for Infantry.
The Army had several Branches such as Infantry, Ordnance, Air Corps, Legal, Medical, etc. A soldier wore a round brass insiginia that was 1.0 inch diameter on the collar of his uniform that indicated his branch of service. On this disc was an emblem that was a symbol of his branch. The symbol for the infantry was crossed rifles.
Notice that a soldier may be assigned to an Infantry Division but be a part of the Medial service or the Artillery. Therefore, the insignia he wore would reflect this specialty and not the Infantry.
This branch insignia was worn on the LEFT collar. On the Right collar was worn a similar disc with "US" on it.

The name of an American war medal ore pin with to rifles in cross?
It sure sounds like a Marksmanship Badge for Army or Marines. But these badges had a Maltese Cross without rifles. One class of badges for the Marines had crossed rifles but no cross. So it could be a markmanship badge issued either by a State for that State's National Guard soldier. Or it could be a marksman badge issued for competition. I think soldiers could wear these non-regulation badges on some occasions. What do you mean by "ore pin"? The question says, in part, that it may not be a medal but a "pin". If it's brass, circular in shape, with the crossed rifles in it, than it is simply a branch insignia for the US infantry.
