Specifically, a Swedish Ljungman AG-42B. This is one of the few semiauto military rifles chambered for a full-power cartridge lighter than the 7.62 NATO (the other common one being the FN49 in 7&#215;57), and I was curious about whether that lighter round would really make much difference in how the rifle felt. The answer? It definitely does.<\/p>\n<p>The Ljungman is a bit of a bulky rifle, with a fairly long action and stock. Shooting it is very pleasant, though. The light-ish cartridge and muzzle brake make for fairly mild recoil, and a very controllable gun. It sure does fling brass, though &#8211; close to 20 feet ahead and slightly to the right.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to see more on the inner workings of the AG-52B, you should take a look at our previous video on the Ljungman, which has us disassembling one in the shop:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VmvI_YYSrlk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VmvI_YYSrlk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\/rifles\/ljungman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\/rifles\/ljungman\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being right in the depths of winter, it seemed like a good time to take a Scandinavian rifle out to the range.
