Well you said "war" not just a battle or to two so... Between the founding of the Roman Republic (509BC) and about 1853 I would pick a rifle that could be made, loaded and serviced with available tools; so the Fergeson rifle for the first 2000 or so years of rifle warfare.. Then probably around 1853 the pattern 53 Engfield with the new percussion cap. Switching in around 1874 I would start sloshing my enemy with a Martini. Then on to a Swedish Mauser in 1894. Around 1936 I would switch to semi auto- some version of the M1 Garand /M14/M1a; and use it till today.
If I have to pick some version of the AR platform I guess it would be a Dawoo K1 in 5.56.
I will point out that I know of no war won,-or lost since by the employment of the AR series of rifle by that rifle . But Engfields, Martinis and Mausers have all won or lost wars.
