Voere LBW

The History of Voere Company

Voere is an Austrian firearm manufacturer with origins in the German Black Forest. In 1948 Ing. Erich Voetter and his partner Paul Restle founded a metal processing company KOMA, which was located in Furtwangen.

They started the weapons business by producing basic air pistols with a single load. In 1955 the partners realized that their company name was not very genuine and decided to rename it Voere, by combining their surnames. In the 1960s they expanded their production onto air rifles and small-bore rifles, and the company’s headquarters was moved to Vöhrenbach. Shortly after the move, they started producing small semi-automatic bore rifles.

In 1964 Paul Restle sold his part of the company, which was in a good state. He was replaced by DI Alfons Ruhland, who was Elrich Voetter’s son-in-law. Due to a lack of workforce and space, Voere bought a company called Sportwaffen Tyrol in Kufstein. The production plant was originally built by Krieghoff for weapon production during the war. After the purchase, it was managed by DI Alfons Ruhland, while Walter Hermann was the CEO of the German company in Vöhrenbach. With this expansion, they added hunting bolt action and shotgun rifles to their production list.

In 1972, Voere received a patent for a small-bore rifle with a drum magazine on top and was asked to make a functional redesign, since the original did not work as intended. It was named AM 180 (American-180) and became the world’s first rifle with a laser aiming device. Even though the new submachine gun was not perfect, it could fire up to 1800 rounds per minute, making it the fastest SMG in the world. Later, another updated version of this rifle was produced in Slovenia and known as MGV 176.

After the disastrous nuclear accident in Chernobyl in 1986, hunting in Scandinavia was prohibited, which led the sister company in Vöhrenbach into shutting down production and selling their facilities to Mauser. The next year Voere merged with a metal company, Kufsteiner Gerätebau und Handels GmbH, and started producing various mechanical parts for many different industries. In 1992, Voere registered and began the production of their caseless cartridges. In 2007, Sven Ruhland stepped into his father’s shoes and became the CEO of the company.

Voere LBW Rifle Review

Voere LBW (also LBW 20-03) is a bolt-action rifle first introduced in 2003. This push feed rifle has a barrel-changing system, which makes it incredibly versatile and valuable. It is still being produced up to this day and has plenty of variations and custom parts to choose from.

The rifle is made for calibers ranging from mini all the way up to ultra magnum. A new bolt is required when switching from larger calibers to a mini one (.222 Rem. and .223 Rem.) or the other way around. The bolt has a sixty-degree opening angle and three locking lugs.

This rifle typically comes with either a three or five-round magazine for standard calibers or two to four-round for magnum ones. It is equipped with a three-stage safety that can be found at the rear of the bolt handle. You may choose a direct or a set trigger, depending on your preference. It is also equipped with a hunting iron sight or an optional luminous sight. The overall length of the rifle is 1130 to 1180 mm (44.5 to 46.5-inches) and the barrel measures 600 to 650 mm (23.6 to 25.6-inches).
