This video discusses the Madsen M47 Lightweight Military Rifle, a bolt-action rifle designed in the late 1940s and marketed in 1951. It was intended for countries unable to afford newer semi-automatic rifles but was largely obsolete upon introduction. The rifle was a commercial failure, with only Colombia purchasing a few thousand units which were never issued and eventually sold to the US civilian surplus market. Despite its obsolescence, the Madsen M47 is noted for being a good shooter and often found in excellent condition due to its storage history.
