Yeah. At least HK did it without making the news too often. They may have a window to sell to India, still. FN just sabotaged their whole India market. And a good thing, too. SCAR is crap deal, period.
Before the mid 2000s the avg age of a SF soldier was around 27/28 years. Soldiers trying out for selection had spend 3-4 years doing COIN in regular infantry. Now we have 20/21 kids clear probation.
We have had a small batch of M16A1 since th 90s. There are some old. pictures floating around.i have seen a pic of a SF soldier with the colt commando also. Early 2000s
The one I have is pretty recent, belongs to 3 para SF
First pic dude looks like Simon Riley
These weapons are used by Porki SSG, only they use the M4 CQBR in the whole subcontinent and only they use Steyr AUGs in huge numbers.New terror outfit in the house, funded by directorate S, notice the guns and the ACOG aswell, yahi hai ab new procurement route

If I am not wrong then like CRPF is paid around 20 k for clothes shoes etc to buy on own aren't SF guys also being paid for it ? Instead that money can be used to buy equipments for them.
? Bhai who tells you such things ? Early M16s've been here in limited numbers since 1958-'59, a guy named Robert "Bob" Mcdonald, then sales rep of Colt's Firearms Company, practically sold some dozens of then version of AR-15 (Colt's 600 series) to us and other asian countries even before US Army adopted it, in fact at one moment then COAS Gen. Thimmayya wanted to induct 5.56mm AR rifles as emergency procurement-replacement of SMLE when choyneez threat was imminent but then DM V K Krishna Menon denied it citing we don't want NATO weapon here
SCAR is a good rifle it's just need some mod and eventually it cost a bomb. Instead we can copy It or HK 416/7 . There is no point in begging to them for something which is a golden opportunity for OFB and other companies to copy it and sell in India.
Yes, let them Fuck off... We already have SCAR-L and SCAR-H Operational with SFF and other units. But SFF already has SCAR rifles, then why did they face shortage of it? Wasn’t it the responsibility of MoD to make sure there never is any shortage of weapons?
Rehne do unko delusion me
It's not just rifles but in case we need more magazines have to change barrel or other parts it will be a mess getting it directly from FN and we will have to look at alternate routes. If we had so many issues with them to even opt for their rifle was a bad deal.
वही तो नहीं मिलती यार

In case of magazines SCAR-H is actually a good options mainly because SCAR-H uses FAL pattern magazines that are adopted for pushbutton style magazine release, in fact you can easily convery any FAL/SLR magazine to SCAR-H one by filing off locking tabs and creating a notch of appropriate size on its side
SCAR-L as well because we have thousands of magazines of M4A1s, Tavor TAR-21s, Tavor X-95, Existing SCAR-Ls.
