DRDO OFB has already developed a lighter bipod version of FN GMAG but it has not been adopted & is undergoing endless trials

OFB has reverse engineered PKM, But no orders and no interest.

Only Imports. Israeli N7.
Are u sure about reverse engineered Pkm? It was much bettrr than both bren and Fn Msg

Yes, read it in Some OFB publications. They already manufacture PKT, Hence it's a small jump from there

OFB has also reverse engineered MP5, but no Orders

Most probably the non availability of 7.62x54 ammo may be the issue for lack of orders.

Reversed engineered MP5 is probably named 'anamika'

AK-203 price and ToT stucked, Opportunity for SSS DEFENSE P-72 family?
OFB is undergoing corporatisation. That's the primary reason for the delay. Russians can deal with PSUs but OFB is a headache.

They refused to give QA on the rifles unless compensated leading to initial price of AK 203 jumping from $1100 to $1400.

That's why all this hullabaloo over OFB corporatisation.

Huge magazine well of OFB 0.338 Rifle makes me wonder if the chassis is modular and can take barrel group of 12.7x99mm also.

Though OFB has reverse engineered OSV96 in 12.7x107 also
Yeah, also thinking it's some sort of multi caliber platform. Wait and see.
