March Patreon Supporter Wallpaper - Steyr ACR
Hey guys, I’ve just posted this month’s Patreon supporter wallpaper featuring the Steyr entry into the US Army's 1980s Advanced Combat Rifle program. You can download the high resolution version over on the Historical Firearms’ Patreon here.
The wallpaper includes one of my photos of the Steyr ACR, you can view more photos of the rifle here. I've gathered together diagrams from the half a dozen patents which protected Steyr's ACR entry.
The Steyr was arguably the best of the unconventional designs entered into the ACR program. It used a rising chamber which alleviated overheating and interestingly it fired from an open bolt.
You can read more about it and watch a TAB video on the rifle here
