The AW system was intended, designed and produced as an integrated system. Such
integration ensures safety and the best out-of-the-box 'bench' performance is matched by
similar performance at any range in the field.
'Ease of use' through good ergonomics and trigger with perfect sight / gun relationship
giving minimum jump and recoil allows the user to achieve maximum potential with minimum
training.
Correctly maintained, the AWs perform within an 'ammunition accuracy' factor of 1.0 - 1.2.
Because there is no bedding interface, the AW's point of impact is not influenced by oil,
weather or climatic changes.
The Model 'AW'
The model AW is the basis for our family of tactical rifles and is
currently produced in calibers .223 Rem and .308 Win and normally fitted with a 660mm
(26") match grade barrel for accurate long range performance. The .223 Rem has a 1 in
8 twist and the .308 Win 1 in 12.
The .308 Win version AW is fitted with a muzzle brake which serves to
reduce recoil and muzzle flip. The .223 Rem version is fitted with fluting, but no muzzle
brake. The AW is normally supplied with an 8 round magazine (.223) and 10 round magazine
(.308). Both versions are housed in olive drab stock panels and black metalwork. Butt
length can be adjusted by fitting spacers to suit the firer.
AW systems are normally fitted with the special fixed power 6x or 10x MKII
military sights.
The Model 'AWP'
The AWP rifle has a stiffer and shorter 610mm (24") barrel to
maximise precision. Usual calibres are .243 Win (1 in 10 twist) and .308 Win (1 in 12
twist). The rifle is designed to perform best with match-grade ammunition. Butt length can
be adjusted to suit the firer by using spacers.
Note : There is no muzzle brake fitted to the standard AWP, therefore iron
sights cannot be fitted. However the rifle can be "customised" in various ways.
Please see the Custom section.
The ideal sight for the AWP is the 3-12x50 Variable due to the usual need
for both long range precision and short range wide field of view.
