I don't think it's a Colt 1903 Hammerless either - due to the grips extending all the way up the frame to the slide.

T26 Tanker Garand Rifle
The rifle seen in the Mike Force assault is a T26 Tanker Garand Rifle. I have seen them in the inventory with the flash hider removed and two holes drilled in the bottom of the trigger housing to mount a dummy magazine.
