This video explores the Madsen LAR, a Danish attempt to enter the military rifle market post-WWII. The rifle initially chambered 7.62x39mm before being scaled up for 7.62mm NATO. Mechanically based on the Kalashnikov system, it features a long stroke gas piston and rotating bolt similar to the AK. Despite its design, the LAR never saw serial production due to market timing and a lack of significant advantages over existing rifles like the G3 and FAL. The video features access to rare examples from the Royal Danish Armory Museum.
