Based on the PM (Precision Marksman), or L96A1 as it is known in the British Military, this model is the basis for the Arctic Warfare series of tactical rifles and is currently produced in calibers .243 Win and 7.62x51mm NATO and normally fitted with a 660mm (26") match grade barrel for accurate long range performance. The .243 Win has a 1 in 10 twist and the 7.62x51mm NATO has a 1 in 12.
The 7.62x51mm NATO version AW is fitted with a muzzle brake which serves to reduce recoil and muzzle flip. The AW is normally supplied with a 10-round box magazine. Both versions are housed in either olive drab or black stock panels and black metalwork. Butt length can be adjusted by fitting spacers to suit the shooter.

The AWM is based on the AW rifle with minimal changes to accommodate Magnum length cartridges. Its detachable box magazine holds 5 rounds. Normal calibers are .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum. Designated L115A1 Long Range Rifle within the British military, the latter as the AWSM (Arctic Warfare Super Magnum) or L115A3 LRR. It is described by Guiness World Records to be the most advanced sniper rifle of all time and was used by Cpl. Craig Harrison of the British Army to establish a new record distance for a confirmed kill shot in Afghanistan in November 2009, surpassing the previous record held by a McMillan TAC-50 fired by Cpl. Rob Furlong of the Canadian Armed Forces. The .300 Win Mag version (AWM-F), equipped with a folding stock and Zeiss 3-12x56 SSG scope, is used by the German Bundeswehr as the G22.
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. The AWP differs to other models, in that it's the only AW weapon system to have a black finish.
The AWS is specifically designed for use with subsonic .308 Winchester ammunition. The rifle consists of a 16" barrel housed in a suppressor of 28" overall length. The suppressor can be replaced with the standard barrel of an AW or AWP.
The AW50 is the biggest, largest-caliber variant of the Arctic Warfare rifles, chambered in .50 BMG. The AW50F, designed for the Australian military, differs in that it has a Madco barrel.
