I am curious to know more about the stalked AK-203 rifle. Do we have it or don’t we? Too much Russian mess. They are trying to mislead us by saying the Ukraine war. In fact they do not wish to proceed at the agreed price. What alternatives do we have? May be the INSAS rifle is alright except...

First few of these are correctly produced and then the quality goes to hell. The Army should never patronize this rifle from Ishapore. Otherwise INSAS story will be repeated.

‘Thank you for trying to turn off discussion on INSAS which will no longer be in use.

Agree with you…..

‘This is the right thread to turn off the excessive discussion on a weapon whose time is over and is being replaced. ……..

Anything we talk about INSAS and it’s derivatives is waste of time. It is mostly for the history buffs. In short while the newest Ak-203 will be in Indian soldier’s hands on top of Sig rifle is already proving very effective at the LOC. Hence talk less and less of INSAS and concentrate your...

None of the mentioned made into the Army use. INSAS will be gone in three years, so will the others.

Why are we talking about INSAS so much when it has been dumped after a long to and fro arguments.

I am curious to know if any of MOD babu or member of the military brass is being hanged from the nearest flagpole, for this lapse.

Why are we chasing OFB products when decision has been made in favour of imported technology.

Which and what rifle is this? Need to know before we prey that who assures quality?

Can I pose a question to assault rifle experts of this thread? Acquisition of assault rifle, the much talked about subject for the last so many years is low on priority. It may be high on the priority of the local arms merchant’s and their sponsorers, but introducing a newer life, I am not...

Has it not been said countless times that DRDO/OFB developed prototype rifles are fine. It is the mass production at OFB which is questionable.

No jams after 20 rounds anymore. Those were a few but not many incidents of 1999. A few of these incidents are used to foul mouth a decently working rifle. Now these incidents do not happen as often, but foul mouthing continues for 1C. Most of it is done by hired help of 18 years olds who have...

No Ghatak or Excalibur or OFB rifle until the army is fully satisfied and any new selection can be made in private sector. Personal weapon boosts or lowers the soldiers morale. If he is unhappy, then he is not going to face the enemy badly. 5.56 version was American persuasion to the world of...

Keep this rifle for internal use. The army should get a more reliable rifle of their choosing. If a soldier is not happy with his personal weapon, he is not going to give his 100% in the battle.

Can you simplify your post. Too confusing .....

Has the Indian Army made up their mind about 7.62x51 rifle to be carried by all soldiers. Is it an import or a locally made product?. Punj Lloyd can make Israeli Ace or OFB can make a derivative of Ak-47. ( Israeli Ace is also a derivative of Ak47 with machined parts.). Ace has minor quality...

No word yet on which rifle and carbine has been selected for purchase in the recently approved acquisition proposal.

Now the vital question: which rifle and carbine is under consideration for acquisition as approved by the MOD a few days back? Is it the Israeli or Belgium or modified Russian or Indian made under consideration and for a layman's knowledge, why? Or the Army will have a unending round of...
