Yet another suggestion for a BRI Allies Premium Riflemen - The American Mosin. This is very niche and perhaps quite a stretch. Obviously there are rifles from other major allied nations that are a better fit but we really do deserve them in the TT rather than paid content.
M1891 rifle is already in the game and it’s BR1 so I don’t believe there is much to worry about with balancing. It’s probably almost certain that all were sold from the military inventory at the time USA entered the war but then we also have a US squad using the Turner SMLE, a German squad with the M/28 Mosin and the Hanyang 88 in the Soviet TT.

Whilst I am not against a American Mosin per-se…
I will still say that I’d much rather see a Lee-Navy, or a Krag-Jorgensen…

If the devs don’t mind reaching back that much then absolutely let’s have them.
Or even the Winchester that the Soviets have access too…it’s my favorite rifle in the game.

You could say that for the Lee-Navy, but then if you’re worrying about age I’m wondering why you brought up a US Mosin…
As for the Krag, US Marines entered Nicaragua with them in the 1920s, with other units keeping them into the 1930s.
I really want more lever actions and 20 round Thompsons for the US, so I can nail that inter-war US Marines setup.

I would think if the Dev’s did come up with an American bolt action rifle squad, it would probably have M1903 Springfields, preferable the USMC version with the better sight. I don’t in general like bolt action rifles in the game, however I do play with them much more in custom match mode, and if they put out a nine many Springfield rifle squad, I would consider buying it because then I could take an existing tech tree nine man rifle squad and give them M1 Carbines or M2 Carbines and use them elsewhere. 
I personally don’t mind aged weapons.
