Madsen 7.62mm NATO Light Automatic Rifle with wooden stock.

Madsen 7.62mm NATO Light Automatic Rifle with tubular steel stock.

Special Note on the Madsen Automatic Rifle. The Madsen has its return spring mounted above the barrel and circles the piston rod, thus it pulls the bolt forward into battery position rather than pushes it forward as with most weapons. The bolt is similar to that of the Soviet AK-47 in that it rotates to lock and is rotated by means of a lug on the bolt operating in a cam in the bolt carrier. However, the piston rod of the Madsen is not permanently attached to the bolt carrier as with the AK. The piston rod of the Madsen has a ball-shaped end which fits in a cut-out in the bolt carrier. The trigger mechanism of the Madsen is similar to that of the AK. The Madsen has a grenade launcher built into the end of the barrel. It can also be easily fitted with a bipod and a telescopic sight. There are two versions of the weapon: one with a tubular metal stock and one with a wooden stock.
