This video delves into the Winchester G30R, the final iteration of David Marshall Williams' .30 caliber battle rifle project. It traces the lineage from Ed Browning's initial design through Williams' modifications, including the gas tappet system and the shift to a Garand-type rotating bolt. The G30R was a scaled-down version of the M2 that won the Light Rifle trials, eventually becoming the M1 Carbine. Although tested by the Marine Corps and considered by Canada, it was not adopted. The video also touches upon its potential as a BAR replacement, leading to the Winchester Automatic Rifle (WAR).
