Prototype Peterson Bolt Action Squadron Rifle

In 1987, Canadian researchers at the CARL(CFB Val-Cartier) introduced a 7.62 X 48mm cartridge for the prototype, Peterson bolt action squadron rifle. It was introduced as a rifle capable of firing  Warsaw 7.62 X 39mm ammunition as well  as the unique 7.62 X 48mm assault rounds making the Canadian ammunition useless to Warsaw troops. Due to the fall of communism and the end of a threat of World war the prototype project rifle was abandoned.
