Madsen .308 "Light Automatic"

Bubacus · August 30, 2007, 17:58

Just bumped into this .jpeg of a Madsen "Light Automatic" in .308. I hadn't seen one before and was just curious about the rifle in general. Anyone have any experience with these. I'm assuming this is military rifle, so no semi clones.

Found This on the Madsen LAR

http://securityarms.com/20010315/gal.../1800/1861.htm

As well as pages 35, 243-244 of Small Arms Of The World, 11th Edition

Cheers

It was the last big effort of the Madsen company & they got out of the arms business.
It was to expensive to make, but they did offer it with a folding stock.

Indonesia did use & produced their light machine gun of the same caliber.

Interesting, but that thing is FUGLY!

Fugly or not, let the betting begin on how soon someone WECSOGs a copy (if only visually)
