Domestic arms makers say Army plan to reorder SIG rifles from US setback to 'Make in India'

Army's fresh order for SIG assault rifles would mean over 1.4 lakh rifles will be bought off the shelf from US despite a domestic industry that manufactures a range of assault rifles.

It's not really a setback. Do any of the local companies have the capacity to produce 72K rifles in a year. Sig did so with the first batch. I however am in favor of dropping the AK-203 for the SSS P-72 family.

 

[Flying Dagger]

Did the army tried P 72 yet ? Let sss defence export it to American market and see how they perform.

However AKs can be built here even OFB are doing good. But it's the production ethics quality control equipment metallurgy etc where we need to learn and gain from the AK 203 deal. Truth is if Sigs will be built here they'll be expensive too.

What I am not sure abt is around 7 lakh AKs for army. If they had gone for 6.8 round perhaps for both carbine and assault might have been better. MCIWS project really need to be revived again with atleast 7.62 *51 mm and 6.8 round . That project can ease the logistics and give army a better deal in long term. Infact Sig can be asked to do that too.

The rifle was long ago rejected (idk why army should have told the reason in a press release, it was a sexy looking rifle).

it looks like 6.8mm is the future standard for Assault rifles.

How do you know brother?

 

[Vishalreddy3]

They definitely are, since weight is a matter of hinderance for mobility, hence the change.
