This video dives into the history and features of the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare rifle, specifically the L118A2 variant used by British special forces. It details the modifications made from the original PM/L96 design to suit the harsh Scandinavian environment, including reduced bolt surface area, a three-position safety, and an enlarged thumbhole for glove use. The description also covers the L118A1 (fixed stock) and L118A2 (folding stock) designations, noting that these were commercial AW rifles acquired by the UK with added features like improved bipod mounts and a rear monopod. The rifle is presented as a transitional model leading to the .338 Lapua Magnum Arctic Warfare Magnum (L115). The video acknowledges Steve Houghton for providing access and recommends his book, "The British Sniper: A Century of Evolution."
