Better move ahead with 6.5mm Grendel which is open standard and in some way better than 6.8mm Remington,
here is a comparison chart for 5.56 vs 6.8 vs 6.5 and so

Misfortune. Most civilian users go for .300 blackout in ar pattern rifles for short range engagements and for longer ranges 6.5 Creedmoor. Basically it is 21st century's .280 British.

I’ll still go for 6.8, what about telescopic ammo?

 

[MisraZ]

There are handful of ar/ak pattern rifles in 6.5 grendel as well as some bolt action rifles. Only Zastava's offering has been considered by Serbian military

I’m still for 6.8x43mm Remington SPC because we already have a platform to fire that round called MCIWS.

Which firearms are chambered for this round?

Technically you can make any current gen firearm in this round,
AKs...AR-15s....AR-18 pattern one like FN SCAR...anything.

^aftermarket "kit" to convert a standard SCAR-16 into 6.5 Grendel one, a barrel, a bolt and a slightly curved version of STANAG

 

[Kchontha]

Why can’t we do some Ammo JV for 6.8mm round? And then induct MCIWS?

There are a lot of known and unknown reason behind that. One is that of ia changing goalpost of its assault rifle calibre requirement. In that scenario, supposing arde developed a 6.8 rifle the end user will change it to 6.5.
Whatever, development elsewhere is that SiG Sauer's 6.8x51 SiG Fury ammunition can be compatible with 7.62x51 rifle just with a barrel swap. Their ammunition offers 20% more energy than 7.62x51 with traditional manufacturing technology. While, True Velocity is another oem in US which has demonstrated conversion of existing 7.62x51 rifle to their 6.8 TVCM polymer case ammunition with a simple barrel swap. This offers the advantage of significantly lighter ammunition and possibly lower costs of manufacturing when the technology matures.

When businessmen talk in such vague terms, you know its just hot air. I doubt anyone in IA procurement machinery even knows what ARAD is.

If Indian Army is serious about buying out AR-15 type rifles then Arad has all chances to win and I want it to win, the CAR-816 is good but I he doubts as it is made by a newbie company. IWI is a legendary brand name in itself.
