AHC: Have the major powers all enter WW2 with standard issue semi-auto rifles

By the end of WW1 most of the major powers had indeed developed semi-auto rifles and were used to some degree or other.

However aside from the US most reverted back to bolt-actions by the start of WW2 how could that aspect have been changed and what real impact would there have been?

Have WWI last a year longer, where more of those weapons actually get fielded
