Forgotten Weapons announces the upcoming release of 'Battle Rifles of NATO,' a new book focusing on Cold War small arms. Shipping is slated for early December, with US orders expected first. The book features detailed photography and technical information on iconic rifles like the FN FAL, M14, and AR-10.
The Madsen LAR was a Danish attempt to adapt the Kalashnikov system for NATO. Initially chambered in 7.62x39mm for Finnish trials, it failed to secure contracts. A scaled-up 7.62x51mm NATO version later arrived too late to compete with established rifles like the FAL and G3. Despite its AK-like internals, it featured an aluminum receiver and a unique, potentially fragile, spring-loaded dust cover.
