The current rifle model carried by Tomb Guards is the M14 (used since 1957). There have been three types of weapons used to guard the tomb. The other two rifles were the M1 Garand (used by the US Army 1936-1957) and the M1903 Springfield Rifle (used by the US Army 1903 - 1936). The Tomb Guards carry fully-functional weapons kept in as close to perfect condition as possible.
