If you are not able to find out the information from your grandfather or photos or letters, then it depends:
The type of rifle or weapon? The type weapon used depended on which service, Army or Marine, which time period, which locations, which units and which job responsibilities. If you know most of that information, then it is possible to guess which type. The most commonly used rifle by the US Military in WW2 was the M1 Garand.
The actual specific weapon by serial number? It is not likely that any military record still exists, because these are local temporary records kept by the Company Supply Sergeant or the Company Armorer. The weapons can be changed out because of damage, loss, repairs or new assignments within the squad, platoon or company for example. The weapons belong to the company, and if a soldier transfers from one company to another, then the specific weapon will be turned in at the old unit, and he will be issued a new weapon at the new unit.
