    It is still R2 with AK style selector. Look at the Insas style detachable gas tube with release lever under the hand guard.

    Ugram isn't so horrible. Just needs a sturdy aluminium handguard with mloks, Sr-25 magazine compatibility with ambi mag release and bolt hold open. Front post sight needs to be flip up type on full length handguard and there should be an adjustable gas block.

    Could have been our own SiG MCX. The robust side folding stock was neat too.

    P72 is a good looking gun. Hope they continue working on 5.56x45 and 7.62x51 version and include bolt catch open.

    It wasn't just British L1A1 (imperial measurements pattern) but also Australian 1A1 (metric pattern). So our 1A1 is a unique variant incompatible with others. Moreover the Belgians were heavily compensated in th Fn MAG deal so they didn't go for international litigation.

    Negev is what comes closest to PKM. PKM in 7.62x51 isn't as good as 7.62x54 version as the legendary reliability came in part with strong extraction mechanism that came with rimmed cartridge.

    Cold war surplus AKMs were purchased for a pittance in 90s. I remember reading an article in India Today in late 90s or early 2000s where they mentioned that we were getting cold war surplus AKM for ₹5-6K whereas a new INSAS cost thrice as much.

    There were plenty of issues with INSAS. The construction material, fit and finish was shoddy. If it wasn't based on AK mechanism, it wouldn't even have cleared the trials. In the years following Kargil war, we were manufacturing lacs of INSAS every year with no quality control. By the time the...

    Serbian have attempted AK breakthrough in the past with trying to introduce bolt hold open features in standard AK with a modified magazine, AK DMR in 7.62x54, AK in NATO calibers, AK in 6.5 grendel and so on. Point being, it is still mostly AK. Most of these attempts are targeted more towards...

    Desi SiG 751 SAPR. If only they can put NATO magazine well and bolt catch open on both the rifle and carbine, it will ver well serve our purpose for general purpose rifle and carbine. Rear echelon troops can be equipped with AK203.

    Pakis are even worse than Indian MoD in procurement considering that their Army runs the country.

    Last known competitive trials have not started between OFB, PLR and Reliance because Reliance asked for time extension. It will have to go up against Negev and LMG from S&T Motiv being offered by Reliance. This is going to be a tough competition as Negev is already included and under...
