Description

The A-Bolt rifle is a bolt-action rifle, it uses a non-rotating bolt sleeve. When the bolt is unlocked, smoothness is achieved with three guide ribs aligned with three locking lugs, enabling precise movement. [http://www.chuckhawks.com/a-bolt.htm A review of the A-Bolt II by Chuck Hawks] ] These three locking lugs also largely increase bolt strength. The bolt's smoothness is also increased with a unique cartridge depressor, the cartridge depressor stays in place independent of the bolt's position. [http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/firearms/catcopy.asp?cat=001B A-Bolt Rifles info on Browning web site] ] Near the end of the reloading cycle, when the bolt is re-inserted, the bolt moves gently over the cartridges in the magazine. The barrel is free-floating and the recoil lug is glass bedded.

The A-Bolt rifle uses a detachable box magazine. Magazine capacity depends on caliber and is as follows:
