    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    No idea really. Someone should try and the rest find out whether it is 'rewarding' or not.

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Am too lowly a mortal to decide which rifle is best for us but I'd carry one which is durable, low maintenance, reliable, feels like an extension of my body, has mount points for optics and can easily switch between single & auto. The INSAS unfortunately doesn't tick all the above nor its...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Sorry guys, should have phrased it better. Should have asked Vishnugupt why he thinks INSAS is better than M4.

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Saaar...was hoping for Vishnugupt JI to reply as to how 5.56x45 INSAS standard battlefield rifle is a better alternative to 5.56x45 carbine(M4) maybe in CI/CT. I won't ask anymore asinine questions for the sake of sasta time pass and cause another derailment. My last on the topic.

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Why take a battle rifle like INSAS into a CQB/encounter in built up areas when better options are available? Am no green beret commando so asking a naive question.

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Heh..looks like a hurried copy/paste job from 5.56x45 if you compare it with the information of 7.62x51. Content Writer - Sir, ye 7.62x51 mein kaun se firearms daloon? Lead - Abey koi sa bhi daal de, kaun padhne wala hai.. bas thoda mm ka farak hai.. wo adjust ho jata hai.. rifle mein.

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    https://www.sssdefence.com/products/products_category/ammunition.php Would this be a good fit for the SiGs in our inventory? Will Adani-PLR supply ammo for the Negev's or will IA procure the ammo from OFB/affiliates?

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    We import ammo for Tavor, M4. Last heard, we had also imported 7.62x39 ammo for the AK's. We fired thousands of rounds of ammo every month when LoC was hot. Counter insurgency ops are carried out mostly with the 7.62x39 followed by maybe the 5.56 NATO(INSAS). Tavor and M4 are anyways used...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    So whats the final verdict? OFB ammo or issues with the weapon? https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/after-indian-bofors-muzzle-hit-in-uss-m-777-guns/articleshow/60469919.cms Happened twice in India. Once in South Korea with the K-9's but the ammo wasn't Indian. What gives? Bade...

    Afaik, any new weapon initiation and training, particularly rifles begins with iron sights. Simulators if available are also made use of in training centers. Scope comes in later.

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    I can't see the gas adjuster on any of the SiG 716's posted on Shiv's blog. They are the DI version, not the G2 Patrol. As these SiG's are modeled on the AR platform, adapting to M-4 or similar AR platform would be a lot easier.
