Automatiskgevær 20

The Automatiskgevær m/20 is the incoming service rifle of His Majesty's Armed Forces (Ringerike), it is bullpup in layout however overcomes some of the ergonomic challenges faced by other rifles of a similar layout with a series of features such as giving the user the ability to select which side the spent cases are ejected from, fully ambidextrous controls and a brass deflector/ cheek rest that facilitates offhand firing without the need to switch the ejection port. Also somewhat unique on a bullpup rifle is the inclusion of an adjustable buttstock.

The rifle makes use of the 6x38mm Ku81-18 cartridge, a development of the current in service round that features a three peice cartridge case capable of withstanding much higher pressures, giving greater performance.

Automatiskgevær m/20-A
The Automatiskgevær m/20-A features an integrated optic in the form of a simple 1.5x etched reticle prism optic, and is intended to be issued to troops not who are not primarily front-line combatants, as well as the Home Guard.

Automatiskgevær m/20-B
The Automatiskgevær m/20-B is fitted with an uninterrupted top rail for the mounting of optics, which for now are transferred directly from the Automatiskgevær 81s when they are swapped over pending the full scale adoption of a new optic.
