INSAS Rifle, LMG & Carbine

[binayak95]

Apart from the yellow varnish on butt-stock and under barrel, the overall design is practical keeping in mind our environment and the period when it entered service.

Agreed - I love it in all black. The orange ones had a reputation (well deserved for being utter shit) never had a black on jamm on me. Orange ? bloody well exploded

Multi-caliber is now an obsolete concept Mate.

The last use of this word was when US Army was looking for a new sniper rifle in 2018; "...a .338 LM rife capable of firing 7.62x51mm for training...".
Other than that, nowhere

Why the Indian Army’s carbine hunt is a litmus test for a desi AK-M4 hybrid

DRDO-AWEIL have fielded an 'Atmanirbhar' weapon combining the best of AK-47 and M4. Will it succeed where the INSAS carbine could not?

Well worth downloading the app and watching (2 episodes so far). Sandeep is amongst the best Indian defence journalists around.

happy to see INSAS still living on in some form and the design being refined to this day, if only IA had done this themselves and not sought to ditch the thing Literally from 20+Years ago.

So many Indian small arms now but still so few orders just RFIs and junk in service

Is that handguard single piece or divided into upper and lower . They've definitely improved over the last few years , but a few more corrections could been slipped in . Last year I did a modifications in the form of a rough drawing , which hypothetically could reduce the weight and increase durability and flexibility but I'm no expert .
So can't tell

Saw the Gun of India, mixed reviews I have now. It was great to see some cool Indian-made weapons up-closed but there are some factual incorrect. Good start tho

FIRST LOOK: Indian Private Sector Answer To Kalashnikov Rifle Out Soon

An Indian private sector firearms technology firm is all set to unveil and offer for test an assault rifle that it claims is an answer, and improvement, over the legendary Russian Kalashnikov AK-47 and its derivatives. The Indian Army and security forces are currently one of the largest users of Kalashnikov rifles, and the government is all set to activate an Indo-Russian joint venture entity that will build over 600,000 Kalashnikov AK-203 rifles in Amethi in northern India.

Bengaluru-based SSS Defence is currently completing design and development of the 7.62×39 rifle, currently simply designated ‘7.62×39 SSS Defence Weapon’ and will unveil a specimen shortly. The weapon is a modification of the company’s existing P-72 Rapid Engagement Combat Rifle (RECR), replacing, among other things, the short stroke piston with a long stroke piston.

Speaking for the first time on the new AK-type weapon, SSS Defence CEO Vivek Krishnan tells Livefist, “There is a view that many people hold that the AK-203 is probably not the best weapon for a modern military force. It’s fine for general infantry. I doubt the Special Forces would want the AK-203 in as many numbers. At the back end, we’ve been working to create an AK variant. My team likes to call it the 7.62×39 SSS Defence Weapon.”

While the AK-203 is all set to be the Indian Army’s standard issue assault rifles for its regular infantry units in the years ahead, SSS Defence believes India’s recently imposed import ban, which includes 7.62×39 assault rifles, offers an opportunity for the company’s upcoming weapon product.

“The embargo on 7.62×39 rifles allows me to present my weapon as an alternative. Ours may not be manufactured in the same quantities as the AK-203, but for sure I can put it out as a very high quality alternative at a very affordable price,” says Krishnan. “What the AK-203 does not have, we have, including a full length rail. Our technical team doesn’t really think highly of the AK-203’s riveted rail. We’ve used the best materials. Ours has a milled receiver rather than the AK-203’s stamped receiver. Things have changed, and we shouldn’t be going back to Cold War Russian technology. Our weapon will have the ability to accomodate every type of optic, day or night, any type of sight. The butt stock is both telescopic as well as can be folded. What the AK-203 offers is that it a reliable weapon. As long as you have a long-stroke piston working in there, it’s reliable.”

SSS Defence also has a retrofit upgrade for the Indian Army’s existing legacy AK-47s that has been under test and is pending a decision. The upgrade involves the integration of a rugged dust cover that fits without any external locking mechanism, a new tactical buttstock, a new gas tube, quad rail fore-end and a flash suppressor. This allows an optic to be mounted along the full length rail along with an under-barrel grenade launcher (UBGL) on the bottom rail. According to SSS Defence, the package lowers recoil significantly and reduces the classic ‘pull up to the right’ traditional to the AK system.

On the AK-47 retrofit package, in a series of tweets in June, SSS Defence said, “No SF operator should have to go into battle with anything less than the SSS Def SOPMOD for AK. Existing upgrades, all of them imported, cost as much as a new weapon for delivering far less. We languish for being an India made system. Where is the soul in Atmanirbhar bharat? We do like the FN Scar but it’s time to reflect on what is optimal for India. 3x the cost for a new system, training afresh & building new tactics don’t come easy. Not to forget, we’ll be importing all the 7.62×51 ammo on this package for a long time to come.”

Apart from the AK-203 local build program, the Indian Army is in the process of inducting over 140,000 SIG 716 battle rifles from the United States, and on the verge of ordering nearly 100,000 CAR 816 carbines from the UAE. SSS Defence sees opportunities going forward in the sniper rifle, carbine and assault rifle space.

You can catch videos of the upgraded AK-47 in action and a whole lot more on the company’s other firearms programs in Livefist’s full interview with SSS Defence CEO Vivek Krishnan on our YouTube channel, and linked below. Please do subscribe and share if you like our video content!

Is they keep waiting for an order from army then blo future.
They need to explore export market especially US civilian gun market

 

[NoobWannaLearn]

Is there any future for SSS defence? Or will it suffer lack of orders and shut shop/stop producing rifles?

They definitely have a future they have secured ak deals and ammo deals from Nepal too so they definitely know what they are doing

Is there any future for SSS defence? Or will it suffer lack of orders and shut shop/stop producing rifles?

In short run they'll survive perfectly with doing odd jobs; modernizing few hundred AKs on unit level, few assault rifles to MHA, contract from Maldives, few thousand roun...

But in long run they'll be perished if they continue with their Screwdriver-giri and don't innovate something disruptive.

The global firearm market is currently at its saturation and getting more and more competitive each day. Just go back a decade and there was only one AR type rifle that was capable of getting a folding stock; the LR300 from Z-M Weapon. Fast forward some 10-12 years and now in just US there are plethora of such designs.

दिल जुड़े बिना ही टूट गए
हाथ मिले बिना ही छूट गए
कि लिखे ने लिख किश्मत ने
बार बार रोड अखियाँ
तैनू जो ना वेख सकियां
खोले आए आज क़ुदरत ने
काटां मैं की वे दिन तेरी सोथ तेरे बिन
मैं तो जिया ना मरा

छन से जो टूटे कोई सपना
जग सुना सुना लागे
जग सुना सुना लागे
कोई रहे ना जब अपना
जग सुना सुना लागे
