That's not excaliber but insas with black polymer handguard and buttstock. Also what bigger rails...... There was no rails before..... they have placed it recently
It is an Excalibur. Look closely at the gas block area near the foresight and the muzzle brake. Both are different in INSAS and Excalibur. Yes, this model does not have the extended handgrip so can get a bit confusing.

Yes it's an Excalibur as the gas port is slant and nor straight as found in semi-automatic INSAS. This slant is for better handling during full auto firing.

Seems all efforts to buy new rifles are doomed to fail. Just do what the British are doing and update what you have.

INSAS is a perfectly good base, it is reliable and accurate- perfect for battle rifles. Just add modern furniture and accessories like this and keep it around for another 15-20 years.

1,000,000++ INSAS in service, it will be atrociously expensive to replace all with a new rifle and that too a foreign one.

A new rifle costs probably $1-2000 USD (best case) without sights and any other add-ons. I’m sure an update to INSAS like this can be done for less than $400 per rifle.

But corrupt incompetent IA brass doesn’t think like this, they only want foreign all-expenses paid tours and kickbacks.

No longer convinced a new rifle is needed, make do with what you have, stupid to think the INSAS is outdated when it is but 20-25 years old. m4/M16 is 60+ year old design and still going strong.

Still have that hideous carrying handle.......No matter how they refine it, some frauds pop up in or models
The caring handle is good especially on long treks. It feels good to have one less piece of equipment on your shoulder
