The AMR-2 fires a 12.7×108mm cartridge from a 5-round detachable box magazine fitted directly ahead of the trigger group. The barrel is free-floating and has a large double baffle muzzle brake to mitigate recoil. It is normally fitted with side-folding buttstock with an adjustable cheekpiece, a folding bipod, and a detachable rear monopod under the butt. The rifle is fitted with open iron sights on folding bases, and a Picatinny rail is provided for installation of telescopic or night sights.
