Russia makes both, actually. Steel lacquered, steel copper washed, and brass.

Much before. Lemme look up date.

1980-2000 ammo quality was crap, can confirm.

This is from time when QC was not with OFB, and the raw material given to them was all sorts of faulty. Post the QC being given to OFB, quality much better.

Article could be wrong, entire media was crying about hydraulic drives in ATAGS when that was never an issue.

Easy solution would be to tell SSS to make their 7.62 gun cross compatible with Sig mags.

My guess would be that OFB made rounds a bit hotter than usual for purposes of reliability (esp since it is also supposed to be lmg ammo), which led to damages to the gun.

nah. Ballistics is same. Could you have been looking at different types? FMJ vs Hollow point, for example. Hollow points in rifles have a tiny hole, not very noticeable. Could be confused for rounded bullet. Yeah I edited my post for rifles.... I dont have much hope from IFB side for ARs...

We make lots of 556, companies get export orders as well. 762 prduction lines there anyway for LMG, Sigs, MMGs, can be scales up and pushed overtime in war. Production can be 2.5-3x if we rotate workers and keep factories running continuously. AR line, Im not too sure. Unless private firms make...

Yeah, should get drilled out of them if IA does its job properly. But you will see troops doing the charging handle pulling method for a while, especially in ops. Habits form over years, and when in stress, instincts kick in.

good to see some optics on the sigs.

They have insas drilled in, pull back on charging handle with every new mag.

TBH, its not as bad as you make it look. Especially for a full scale war with pakis, 762x39 is good enough (and perhaps better) than 556. Lack of ballistic vests, means that penetration diff, which is small anyway, will not count much. 762 has the advantage of being a bigger bullet, and since...

What is stopping ofb from making match grade ammo? Nothing, if army asks, they can make ez. And even if OFB machines are unreliable af, they can sit one guy down and do it manually, will easily cover IA requirement with precision scale for measurement of load. The dragunovs obviously need an...

] Wont the whiplash happen after the bullet has left the barrel? The way I see it, bolt cant unlock till bullet leaves barrel - Till then the piston will still be moving back, and yellow vector wont exist. After the bullet leaves, then bolt unlocks, yellow hole discharges excess pressure ...

Both are capable of sub MOA, at which point accuracy is up to individual skill + ammo rather than rifle. Dragunov is still a great DMR, better than repurposed battle rifles. Its development in the 70s does not diminish its capabilities - especially since the upgrade tender for IA dragunovs does...

IA doesnt have QD or mlok attachment for sling, so they just used a piece of rope. Not too critical, so shouldnt be much of an issue apart from aesthetics.

Id doubt it, dragunovs do perfectly fine till 800m. Thats beyond most DMRs like sig. IMO sigs will do okay in DMR role, but not as good as designated DMR like dragunov.
