Don't know the technical differences between black and orange furniture, the difference should be in the machining and mechanics of the gun, not in the furniture, I just like the black for looks.

Kunal,

Could you please post a high resolution picture of the INSAS LMG with black furniture, if it exists?

Thanks!

The furniture is black but also the metallurgy of the rifle changed hence reduction in weight by almost 1/2kg, Also many other small changes been done to the rifle, Its shorter than earlier Insas by few cms, Black will help to hide the gun better..

Is that the Sterling?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Is that the Sterling?

Yes, Sterling it is..

 

[Shaitan]

Anyone want to tell me the status of India's MSMC?

 

[W.G.Ewald]

Yes, Sterling it is..

I would like to buy one the old ones.

Mr. Ewald,

Please be on the lookout. The Indian FN-FAL clones and Sterlings that are being phased out might soon be surplussed and will probably end up in the US, just like the 7.62mm RFI SMLEs. You should get your hands on one of these early.

Really? As Title III weapons?

I remember the SMLEs appearing at gun shows some time back.

If you are really interested in collecting an Indian SLR, i.e. FN-FAL clone, i.e. RFI L1A1, check this out:

FN 1A1 vs. FN L1A1 vs. FN C1A1

I don't know abt the earlier Black Insas, But these New Black Insas Rifle Issuing to Units are lighter than previous ones, from personal view i find its lighter, less half kg than previous ones with empty Mag..

The metallurgy is new and its thicker but lighter than previous issue..

AFAIK, All are now with Rifles no SMG.

isnt that quite awkward? what about drivers and other personal who need PDWs ? dont think that Insas can do that job

Drivers are issued with Rifles too..

Its the Mech Inf gets the folded Butt Rifles..



Insas is ok, 9 mm carbine is good riddance..

Generally all the Tank drivers and crew were given AK-74RU..
