AR-30A1 338 Lapua Target Rifle With Adjustable Stock
The AR-30A1 is the ultimate long range target and tactical firearm.
The barrel utilizes threads that are standard for the sound suppressor industry (3/4 x 24) so many sound suppressors can be screwed directly onto the barrel without the need for an adaptor. The 26″ barrel on the .338 Lapua enhances muzzle velocity, flatness of trajectory, and terminal ballistics.
The tough, through-hardened receiver helps with reduced wear and increased smoothness. A bolt-mounted safety mechanism locks the firing pin to the rear, this design is stronger and more secure than a sear or trigger blocking safety because it directly blocks the firing pin itself.
The metal cheekpiece is very durable and the elastomeric cheekpiece pad provides a comfortable shooter interface in all weather conditions. The Cheekpiece supports contain integral cleaning rod guides that prevent damage to the bore during cleaning.
Multiple sling installation locations allow simultaneous use of a sling and a bipod. The rear sling swivels can be moved to either the right or left side.
The entire buttstock assembly can be quickly and easily removed with only one allen wrench for very compact transportation. The standard and target buttstocks are also interchangeable on any receiver.
Military grade anodizing and phosphating finishes enhance durability and corrosion resistance.
Features specific to the AR-30A1 Target version:
A top 20 MOA Picatinny rail that is 18 inches long over the receiver and barrel will support any scope and accessory devices such as night vision devices. Picatinny rails on both sides of the forearm allow installation of other devices.
The Cheekpiece is vertically adjustable for 1 inch of adjustment without the use of tools so that each shooter, regardless of their facial features, can obtain an optimum cheek weld while still achieving a clear sight picture.
The buttstock can be adjusted without tools for lengths of pull from 13.6″ to 15.6.” This makes the AR-30A1 ergonomically correct for shooters from the 5% female to 95% male. Shooters can also quickly adjust length of pull to accommodate changes in clothing or shooting position. In addition, with a single allen wrench, the buttpad is adjustable for height. A 1913 accessory rail at the bottom of the buttstock allows for installation of additional accessories such as sling swivels or monopods.
Performance Characteristics of the AR-30A1:
Testing has proven the muzzle brake on the AR-30A1 to be the best in the industry for both reducing recoil and increasing accuracy which makes shooting comfortable for even the smallest or recoil-sensitive shooter.
The competition grade barrel and patented V-block receiver bedding system are keys to the AR-30A1’s MOA accuracy. The patented V-block Bedding WEdge and V-block stock assure absolute strength and repeatability for superb accuracy. The aluminum stock reinforces the received like a bench-rest sleeve.
The AR30’s single stack magazine is made of steel, not polymer or aluminum which helps provide years of heavy duty service. Using a single stack magazine minimizes the material removed from the receiver for the mag well which significantly contributes to the strength and stiffness of the receiver. The deep magazine well makes magazine insertion fast and easy, while holding the magazine in exactly the correct position for reliable feeding.
An ambidextrous magazine catch is centrally located so that the shooter can release the magazine and catch it with the same hand. Reloading is fast, and the expended magazine won’t be dropped to be lost or damaged.
The rifle balances just in front of the magazine well so the rifle can be easily and comfortably carried near the balance point with only one hand, freeing the other hand for other critical activities.
The powerful ejection system and generous ejection port eject even loaded .338 Lapua cartridges rapidly and reliably. The large ejection port also makes single loading of cartridges through it easy and fast.
The ergonomically improved bolt handle design and “competition grade” dimensions and tolerances in the receiver allow lightning-fast, butter-smooth reloading.Category : Rifles Centerfire TacticalAction : BoltCaliber : 338 Lapua MagnumBarrel Length : 26″Capacity : 5+1Trigger : Single-StageSafety : LeverOAL : 48.1″-50.1″Weight : 15.4 lbsStock Description : Adjustable BlackMetal Finish : Black Hard Coat Anodized
