Description
The Liberty Rifle was developed in 1948 by the Springfield Armoury, as a replacement for the US's other non-standardised weaponry, which made heavy use of high grade metals and recently discovered (and expensive) plastics.

The Liberty Rifle is an attempt to maintain the US's natural quality in firearms, whilst at the same time lessening the cost of manufacture in terms of financial costs, time, and materials used.

Hence we see a return to the use of wood for the stock, pistol grip, and handguard, as seen in the days of WW2. This significantly reduces the money needed to build each rifle, and simplifies construction, meaning each new Liberty Rifle can be built quicker, without the need for expensive moulds for plastic parts.

The rifle's receiver, barrel, and it's operating parts, however, have not seen a reduction in quality. Therefore we have an extremely reliable, robust, accurate, and simple weapon in the hands of US troops defending the Northwest line against the Soviets today.

The stock has 2 positions, seen here extended. The rifle can mount a bayonet, and the thick wooden hardguard contains the very heavy barrel. This, along with the compensator, allows for precision shots to be made, along with minimal recoil when in fully automatic.

The Liberty Rifle is intended to the first of a series of firearms which share the same standardised parts, easing production.

The Liberty Rifle fires the .303 British round, , now known as the Atlantic-303 caliber, the first US rifle to do so, after agreements were made with the British Empire to standardise rifle calibers, and allow greater cooperation between the forces of the Anglo-sphere.

British commanders are impressed with the weapon, saying it will allow US troops to reach unparalleled marksmanship, and are now looking into obtaining their own heavy rifle in the same vein and concept as the American Liberty Rifle.
