Alpha Arms Model 1

     Notes: This rifle was made by a Texas company in small numbers.  The rifles were basically specifically built for the customer, and could be made in virtually any caliber imaginable, and with any barrel length from 20-24 inches.  They could be in left or right-hand versions.  The actions are made from Teflon-coated stainless steel.  The Model 1 versions presented below are in the most common barrel-length (20 inches) and in the most common calibers.

     The Model 1 Alaskan fires medium and large-caliber rounds.  It has a stainless steel 24-inch barrel, a Nitex coating to the action instead of Teflon, and largely laminated-wood stocks (though some synthetic-stocked versions were built to customer request).

American Hunting Rifles Safari 550 Series

     Notes: American Hunting Rifles Inc. was founded in 1998 by a Montana gunsmith named Ed Plummer.  At the time, AHR was primarily engaged in the chambering of a series of powerful wildcat long-action cartridges based on commonly-available brass (primarily that of the .30-06 Springfield and .416 Rigby) designed by Ken Howell.  AHR also had the services of other notable gunsmiths and wildcatters, and began to develop even more powerful proprietary cartridges – all of them huge.  In addition, AHR began to modify the Czech CZ-550 rifle for use with these new rounds, instead of former offerings based on the Winchester Model 70.  Some of those rounds are indeed monsters.

     Most of the largest of these rounds are chambered in the Safari 550 DGR (Dangerous Game Rifles).  Based upon the CZ-550 American Safari Magnum, AHR also adds dovetailed scope mounts, an improved controlled-feed claw-type extractor, a match-grade chrome-moly steel barrel (floated with glass bedding), and a stock of AA Fancy English Walnut.  Tolerances are tightened, including a realigning of the barrel and receiver.  The trigger mechanism is single stage, but adjustable.  The bolt handle is straightened and moved forward slightly.  The iron sights consist of fixed peep sight at the rear of the receiver, a folding leaf-type sight in the “scout” position, and a hooded bead sight with a fiberoptic inlay at the front (except when chambered for .585 AHR or .600 Overkill, which use a ramp front sight with a fiberoptic inlay).  Metal surfaces are matte blued.  The stock has a 1-inch Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad on the butt, and the pistol grip wrist and fore-end have 22 lpi checkering.  Several options are available, including alternate iron sights, alternate scope mounts, upgraded wood for the stock, upgraded checkering, alternate finishes, a detachable box magazine instead of an internal magazine, alternate barrel lengths (the standard is 25 inches, which is what I have used in the charts below), and a special muzzle brake called an “X-Brake.”

     The Safari 550 PGR (Plains Game Rifle, also known as the American Plains Game Rifle or the African Plains Game Rifle) is a smaller brother to the DGR.  It is for the most part identical to the DGR (especially in the mechanism, enhancements, and options), but is a smaller, lighter package, using a 23.625-inch barrel as standard.  The mix of chamberings is also different, being more limited and for the most part smaller than that of the DGR.

     Twilight 2000 Notes: These rifles do not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

APA Tactical Competition

     Notes: The APA (American Precision Arms) Tactical Competition is designed to be useful in hunting, long-range competition shooting, and tactical sniping applications; competition, however, is the core of its design. Based on a variant of the Remington 700 action called the Badger Action, the Tactical Competition starts with an improved trigger and magazine group called the RTG (Refined Trigger Guard). The Guard starts with a lightweight 7075 aluminum trigger guard which incorporates a integrated magazine catch which does not protrude from the trigger guard, and is essentially part of the trigger guard.  This links to the box magazine.  The trigger itself is a hand-tuned Jewell trigger (in fact, the entire rifle is hand-tuned). The 26-inch barrel is a heavy contour Broughton #6 barrel, tipped with a proprietary APA “Little Bastard” muzzle brake.  The rifle has a McMillan A-5 synthetic stock with a deep pistol grip wrist, texturing of the pistol grip wrist and fore-end for a better grip, an adjustable cheekpiece, and spacers to adjust length of pull.  The standard scope sold with the Tactical Competition is a Nightforce 5.5-22x50mm scope, and is included in the cost below.  The top of the receiver has a MIL-STD-1913 rail.  The magazines used are identical to those of the British AW rifle.

     A variant of the Tactical Competition, the Do-It-All Rifle, uses an APA Genesis action along with a heavy-gauge match rifle 22 inches in length, without a muzzle brake. The extractor is based on the M-16 extractor.  The stock is a simpler synthetic McMillan HTG stock.  The underside is studded for a bipod, though none in included with the rifle.  The stock has a thick recoil pad.  The entire rifle, metalwork, and magazines are coated in KG Gun-Kote Sage Green with a camouflage pattern. Atop the receiver is a MIL-STD-1913 rail.

A-Square Hamilcar

     Notes: The Hamilcar may be regarded as a lighter version of the Hannibal; it is lighter, but the chamberings still include stout cartridges like the .300 Weatherby Magnum.  Most of the special A-Square construction of the Hannibal, in fact, is duplicated on the Hamilcar, but in a lighter weight.  The weapon is equipped with mounting blocks and rings for telescopic sights, though A-Square will substitute other types of mounting equipment upon request, and any of their mounting methods include A-Square’s Quick Disconnect Unit which allows the optics to be quickly removed and replaced without losing the sight’s zero.  Despite the relatively low weight, the Hamilcar does not use any sort of light alloys, composites, or plastics in its construction, except for the firing pin, which is a titanium alloy for strength; in addition, all metal parts are Teflon-coated.  Like the Hannibal, the Hamilcar generally uses a 26-inch match-quality LW-50 stainless steel barrel (and this is what was used for the charts below); however, there really isn’t any “standard” barrel length, as A-Square will make the barrel length (almost the entire rest of the rifle) to order.

     Twilight 2000 Notes: The Hamilcar does not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

A-Square Hannibal

     Though originally built only from 1983-91, this rifle was made in literally over a score of different calibers, some of which are pretty exotic.  (Production picked up again in the late 1990s.)  The Hannibal is built on a modified Enfield M-1917 action; most have hand-oil-finished walnut stocks, but some were built with synthetic stocks.  The tolerances are very tight and the parts fit together so well that only a bare minimum of lubrication is required.  They have recoil dampening bolts in the stock, as well as a ventilated recoil pad on the butt.  The barrel is a match-quality LW-50 stainless steel barrel; though A-Square will build the Hannibal to customer order with any barrel length requested, 26 inches is the most common barrel length.  The barrels are floated using a steel-reinforced epoxy bedding material.  The action uses controlled feeding with a non-rotating claw-type extractor, and the entire action is machined from D-2 tool steel.  The stocks are made using a special ergonomic pattern (after consultations with a weapons system engineer, an orthopedist, an internist, and an anthropologist!).  The trigger unit, action, and magazine’s floorplate are bedded into the stock using the same material as the barrel bedding.  The bolt handle is extended and curved to ensure that it clears the scope while allowing the bolt to be opened or closed with just the thumb of the firing hand.  All metalwork is Teflon-coated for environmental resistance and operation with very little lubricant.  The scope bases and rings are mounted with heavier screws than most rifles, and A-Square will also substitute other mounting devices as desired.  Typical A-Square rear scope bases are longer than usual to for a better fit to an individual shooter and also allow the use of long scopes.  The mounts also incorporate A-Square’s Quick Disconnect Unit, which allows optics to be repeatedly removed and/or swapped without losing the shooter’s zero.  The Hannibal is also fitted with backup iron sights.

     It should be noted that the following chamberings are not listed on A-Square’s web site as currently available: .270 Winchester, 7mm STW, 7mm Remington Magnum, .30-06 Springfield, .300 Winchester Magnum, .300 H&H Magnum, .300 Weatherby Magnum, .308 Norma Magnum.  However, it is well-known that A-Square will customize a Hannibal (or any of its rifles) to almost any chambering desired.
