The Madsen LAR was a battle rifle of Danish origin chambered in the 7.62mm NATO calibre. It was made from lightweight high tensile alloys and steel similar to that used on the M16 rifle and its layout is based on a number of rifles such as the GRAM 63 and the Valmet M62. Development of the Madsen LAR has its traces back to 1962 when various arms manufacturers like FN Herstal and H&K were producing the FN FAL and G3.
