You were right
Indian Army officials have asked them to remove retractable buttstock and upper hand guard with rails features. Also reported by the Army recognition. So we are going to get AK-203 with traditional AK-74/AK-103 stock.

If this is the version we're getting here then...



Frankly at this point i wish this whole deal gets butchered ASAP.It offers NOTHING over what we are manufacturing domestically here,OFB Trichy and Ghaatak and even recent OFB 5.56mm Carbine of SG540/SG550 pattern,just make a 7.62x39mm version outta it!.

If this is the exact SHIT Indian Army wants then they should better get local one instead of imported ruskie one.

At this moment,My proposal is plain,simple...Take OFB Trichy and make our own Beryl Rifle outta it!
i.e. turn this...



into this

FB Beryl in 5.56x45mm,standard issue rifle of Polish Army.


totally not a rocket science.The same Bulgarians from whom we've copied the trichy has made similar thing to their current iteration of Arsenal AR series...

It may not be a rocket science for poles and bulgarians, but for Ofb guys who reinvent Ak47 in 2019, its still a rocket science of next century

The Upgraded Insas Rifle...Folding butt stock with cheek rest...full upper picatinny rail..red dot sight..front hand guard with rails and T-POD folding Bipod Grip...Magazine of 30 rounds capacity reduces stoppage to an extent...
Pretty but pointless... IA never bothered to ask for any of these features 5-10 years ago (still don't in the upcoming Ak-203 deal) & it's too late for INSAS now.

For sone reason the ARDE carbine & OFB 7.62×51 still uses the old buttstock, that would change.

Had to guess, because noone here had ever seen a public photo of that with Army... But please address this below part;
For some reason the ARDE carbine & OFB 7.62×51 still uses the old buttstock & grip. I hope that would change.


Are you from OFB? It'll be good to have someone from there.

Maybe a INSAS LMG? barrel looks bulkier than regular INSAS.
