So they took all the best features from every other bolt gun and put them together, and made a 1917 (best gun of WW1 btw) that is slightly lighter and handier? Where the frick do I buy one?
They were only used by Colombia as a ceremonial gun but in 1960's they sold these rifles to american civilians so it's probably possible to buy one but difficult because Denmark only produced 6000 of them
As I remember the only reason the M47 sold was due to the Madsen m50 subgun being popular. Story is they offered a discount on M50s if you bought M47s or some such.

I, too, enjoy a shifting poi of between 3 and 9 inches at 10 yards between magazines and depending on eye relief
What the frick are you talking about?
Anon I think you actually might be moronic.
Are...are you literally not able to use aperture sights properly? How?
>wiener on open
*wiener on close
I dont know why CoO would be better on a military rifle when its just slower
I have a feeling you don't own any boltguns. I have both systems and wiener on open is better
In what way? What causes the rifle to shift the most on a CoO rifle when running the bolt is opening it, which obviously wants to cant the rifle. with CoC, the force is inline with the bore, so its easier to stay on target.
Fun fact, these rifles were available in 7.62 NATO and 10 round box magazines.
You could have also got some marksman variants too!
I think Madsen would have made all of these upgrades for pre-existing guns on the market like mausers and lee enfields.
Don’t forget the rubber recoil pad.
The one on mine is still great. The bayonet for it is also very nice as well.
>Aperture sight
I prefer the sights on the M1 Garand.
They’re nice shooters.
Denmark used to make some wacky shit in the past, such as this full-auto conversion of a fricking Martini-Henry, also manufactured by Madsen
I saw a video of Brazilian anti-narcotics police raiding a favela and one of them had a Madsen. It was kino as frick and he was letting that Madsen sway like a farmer would a scythe.
Sent the videos pls
>m1914
what the frick did they do to that 1911
That's because it's likely one of the Norweigan made Konsberg colts which began production under license 194. Fun fact, they continued licensed production right the way through WWII, including about 1000 models or so that carry the Waffenamt stamp for acceptance into the Wehrmacht
under license *in 1914, frick I'm moronic
I really don't think the madsen mg is a full auto conversion of a martini henry
I've gotten the chance to handle one and compared to any other milsurp rifle it's by far and away the nicest. If you told me it was some kind of postwar sporting rifle I'd believe you. The whole thing is so much smoother than any contemporary Mauser or Enfield

I wonder what might've happened in Denmark just before 1947 that would encourage them to produce a legacy product which they already had the tooling for...

First line
>Even in this atomic age a conventional military repeating rifle is still in demand for certain uses as an individual weapon of the soldier.
Whatever you say, Danes.
Mine has a little divot in the chamber so I can't open it for a few minutes after firing as I wait for the brass to shrink.
