@vishal we can go beyond Fn2000 if we want to but the cost factor is holding us out.
(added later on)
BTW vishal your lack of confidence in our countryman is amazing, probably you forget we have tested BMD at fraction of cost which US did.

Kel-tec RFB
One of my Fav..
Kel-tec RFB rifle is gas-operated, using short-stroke gas piston located above the barrel. Gas system is fitted with manual gas regulator, located at the front of gas block. Bolt system is somewhat unusual, as the long bolt carrier has an inverted U-shaped cross-section, and runs above the barrel and ejection chute. The bolt is hinged to the rear of the carrier. Locking is achieved by tipping the rear of the bolt down, to engage locking recesses in barrel extension. Forward ejection system includes dual extractors / ejectors, pivotally attached at either side of the bolt. Upon final stage of the bolt opening movement, those extractors are cammed up, to bring the fired cartridge above the barrel and in line with ejection chute above it. Upon closing movement of the bolt, it strips the fresh cartridge from magazine and feeds it into the chamber, simultaneously pushing the fired case forward and into ejection chute. Upon final closing movement of the bolt ejectors are cammed down to release fired case and to grip on the base of the fresh cartridge in the chamber. Fired cases then remain in the ejection chute until manually shaken out of it or pushed out by subsequent cases. Special provisions are made to avoid empty cases bounced back from chute and into receiver. Bolt system features dual return spring installed on captive spring guides. Upon disassembly, bolt group along with recoil springs is removed from the gun as one unit. Charging handle is reciprocating and can be installed on either side of the gun.The rest nof the gun is mounted on the barrel, which forms the backbone of the weapon, using four captive cross-pins. Forend, pistol grip / trigger pack / magazine housing and receiver cover / buttstock are made from impact-resistant polymer. Basic disassembly of the RFB requires no special tools other than a cartridge or other pointed object, which is used to push out connecting pins. Firing unit is hammer-fired, and features an interesting system which provides consistent and crisp trigger pull. In essence, this system keeps the sear next to the trigger, and the necessary long linkage is located between sear and hammer, not impairing the trigger pull. The trigger is fully adjustable. Manual safety levers are located above pistol grip at either side of the gun. Feed is using "metric" FN FAL magazines, which are readily available on the market. There are no open / iron sights as standard on RFB rifles; instead, a Picatinny-type rail is rigidly attached to the barrel. This rail will accept any sighting equipment with appropriate mounting interface.
Caliber: 7,62x51mm / .308 Winchester
Barrel length 813 mm / 32"
Overall length 1016 mm / 40"
Weight, unloaded 5,1 kg / 11,3 lbs
Magazine capacity 10 or 20 rounds

I have handled and operated the Kel Tech RFB bullpup battle rifle. It is an unbelievable work of engineering, as such a compact and light frame is hard to expect from a .308 platform. There are 3 barrels available, carbine for close quarters and medium distance engagements, a standard sporter barrel and a target version for long distance engagements. It is the future of battle rifles. The ejection of the casing and ambidextrous controls and ergonomics prove that this is the answer most armed forces are looking for. The only drawback is the weapon is unable to fire in automatic configuration. Not a big deal as the whole concept of this rifle is accuracy and one shot kills, as the size of the round and its inherent size restrictions (20 bullets in FAL mag) suggests that spraying and praying is outdated and useless with this gun. Recoil is fairly hefty but very manageable compared to firing FN FAL for example. The sights are good and the possibilities for accessories is limitless.
