This video analyzes the AK4, Sweden's unique modification of the H&K G3 battle rifle. The description details the Swedish military's decision-making process in the 1960s, opting for the G3 over domestic designs like the GRAM-63. Key modifications made by Sweden to enhance the G3's service life to 15,000 rounds are highlighted, including a heavier recoil buffer, altered stock, sights, bayonet attachment, bolt carrier, and a clip-on case deflector. The video also mentions the initial procurement of AK4s from H&K and subsequent licensed domestic production by Carl Gustaf and Husqvarna. Access to the rifle was provided by the Estonian Defense Forces.
This video explores the Våpensmia NM-149S, a Norwegian sniper rifle conversion based on the German Kar 98k. Following WWII, many Kar 98k rifles remained in Norway and were repurposed for hunting and competition. In the 1980s, the Norwegian military contracted Våpensmia to modify these actions into sniper rifles chambered in 7.62x51mm. These rifles featured detachable box magazines, bent bolt handles, and short-throw safeties for Schmidt & Bender scopes. The NM-149 F1 variant, featured in the video, includes improvements like fixed iron sights, a heavier barrel, and a G3 flash hider. Several hundred of these rifles were later sold to Estonia, where they served as marksman rifles until recently replaced. The video thanks the Estonian Defense Forces Support Command for access.
This video showcases Estonia's new Designated Marksman's Rifle (DMR), the R20L, chambered in 7.62x51mm. It's based on the LMT MARS-H and shares features with the 5.56mm R20 infantry rifle. The video highlights its use of Vortex and Schmidt & Bender scopes in Spuhr mounts, and its compatibility with GSL suppressors using a 2-position gas plug. Access to film the rifle was provided by the Estonian Defense Forces Support Command.
This video details the Estonian Defense Forces' adoption of the LMT R20 "Rahe" rifle, replacing their older Galil rifles. The R20 is a modern infantry rifle platform designed to accommodate both 5.56mm and 7.62mm variants, with a focus on reliability, accuracy, and modularity. The selection process involved major manufacturers, with LMT ultimately winning the contract. The video highlights the rifle's standard configuration, including optics, iron sights, and sling, as well as optional accessories like grenade launchers and suppressors. Deliveries were completed by the end of 2023, establishing the R20 as the standard Estonian infantry weapon.
