Talk:Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series

How to distinguish-The Basics

1st off for any one confused with whether a rifle is an R700 in an AICS chassis or an Accuracy international, look at the bolt. the AI l96 series uses a ball shape bolt at the end of a round piece of metal while the R700 uses a flat "Tab" bolt handle

2nd. surefire way to tell a standard AW from an AW magnum. Look at the magazine! the magnum is .338 so the magazine is clearly longer than the standard AW in 7.62 NATO.

The AWP is fore Police, so AWP standing for Arctic Warfare Police. it is always black, not olive drab or tan. It also has a shorter 24 in (610 mm) barrel in comparison to AW model. The AWP is normally chambered for 7.62 mm NATO/.308 Winchester or .243 Winchester ammunition. The AWP is similar to the AW AE which has a black finish, but is a cheaper non-military version of the AW series.

AWS is simply a standard AW in 7.62 NATO, with an elongated barrel with an attached suppressor, witch unfortunately gives it the effectiveness of a .22 Magnum.

i will finish tommorow! for the sake of ease please do not edit this page or its discussion until i am finished. THANKS!User:SargeOverkill
