AFAIK, in Sandeep Unnithan article, it was quoted around $1000-1100 range, that deal is still in limbo even though it was categorized as Fast Track Procurement (FTP). 😓 Now, since SIG has breached the Indian market; more American companies will follow the suit after seeing huge demand in IA...

The whole idea of purchasing AK 203 is beyond comprehension when you have OFB making AK clones like TAR or GHATAK. Of course, questions will be raised about high procurement cost of AK 203 when OFB is producing similar product sans picattiny rails may be at much lower cost. Had it been SIG in...

This is the classic example of short term vision or lack of vision. On one hand, Rawat sahab is lecturing on improving teeth-to- tail ratio on the other hand he's segregating troops as Front-line or Non-Front line troops. In this case, Non-Front line troops can be given inferior rifle like...

That is quite a reasonable deal; At $900-990 for a .308 Battle rifle from a reputed manufacturer like SIG is a real sweetheart deal. I feel the aggressive bidding by SIG has disrupted the apple cart for other vendors including Kalashnikov Concern. The AK-203 deal is going downhill on pricing...

Based on my interaction with spectrum of jawans/officers from DSC/CISF to Navy, I feel there is lack of passion for the firearm they carry (It's strictly my opinion based on limited set of people I met; no offence to others those who are really passionate). I mean for them routine cleaning and...

Perhaps, their latest sniper rifle is the testimony of their state of mind. Heck, even M24 looks more modern than this one. It literally gives me shivers when I see news about OFB pitching some new product (INSAS + Picattiny rail+Auto Fire mode) as potential replacement for existing INSAS...

Looks like a copy of SCAR L !! I don't know who's stopping OFB/DRDO to try making AR style rifles; They just keep on putting cosmetics on INSAS and present it as their new product.

Question: In SCAR-H/SIG716 has gas regulator for suppressed and unsuppressed shooting however, for DI rifles, as there is no piston or perhaps no regulator on the gas block; then how does the suppressed firing is managed? In other words, how are the functions of gas regulators of piston based...

At least, they have guts to experiment with muzzle brake of AK. Even, the Kalashanikov Concern has abandoned their legacy muzzle brakes for AK 203 and opted for newer honey comb M-brake/flash hider. But here, we are continuing the same old ones in Ghataks/TARs. It would be interesting to know...
