German AR-style rifles in .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua Magnum by Albert Arms

    Albert Arms is a firearms manufacturer located in Schweinfurt, Germany. They produce AR-style rifles chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum called ALR-300 and ALR-338 respectively.

    Both guns are short stroke gas piston operated and have AR-style bolt carrier group. However, they have some unique features, different from traditional AR-15/AR-10 design. As an instance, the bolt incorporates two rows of locking lugs and dual ejector, which definitely makes it a stronger, more reliable and safer design for the calibers it is chambered in. It also has a spring-loaded firing pin.

    The gas system is adjustable with a hole in the valve extension, which fits the cartridge neck. It allows quick adjustments of the system in field conditions.

    Takedown pin has a groove matching the rimcut of the cartridge, which allows using a cartridge case to pull the takedown pin out, in case of tight or stuck one.

    Both rifles lack forward assist and have a spring-loaded cover for charging handle channel, which hinge opens upward to allow the charging handle tail to run over the buffer tube when pulled back.
