The S&W Light Rifle is a very bizarre weapon to me, its overall design and features are so unintuitive. The design is from 1939, and I feel like there had to have been at least enough knowledge in the U.S arms industry by that point to design a more proper subgun by that point, even if it would probably still have been something expensive to machine.
The Marlin UD42 is basically what the Light Rifle would have been if Ed Pomeroy hadn't been (presumably) abusing illicit substances when designing it. More expensive than what was necessary for the type of weapon, but that was typical for the 1930s, and the UD42 ultimately still made sense and worked fine for its role.
