No one, and why would one, today I was laughing on a Pakistani website for selling AK upgrade kit without license and background check to my fake ID, but no more. Those guys have a small arms ecosystem. We should also legalise a few small arms for the upper class, so that some small cos get bigger.

hhmm what is this now i vaguely remember finding a manufacturer of STANAG pattern magazines in US GI pattern aluminium frame here in India who even put pics but forgot about the name etc, this guy saying nobody manufactures it seems a...let me try to find it back.

back then i was having impression that he could be a contractor for making those mags for Special Forces' Tavor and M4 pattern rifles etc.

Other than Nilkamal, Erstwhile OFB(now AWE India) I don’t think anyone else makes magazines. PLR should be making them as they make most of the parts for their guns in India only.

This was an earlier deal for GPMGs amd scars l and h ,parachutes,night vision etc and it was 400 crore deal I think so these guys took thay deal and wrongly said that 716 machine guns cost 400 crore

This kit will have much more value addition, and it far better than the one offered by SSS-D.

And why? I don’t see any major difference.

I said this because this seems to have a lighter rail, as well as a better grip, and atleast made in India.

Those flip up iron sights are also a nice touch,
Over the traditional AK sights

Isn't .45 ACP a PB?

Not any more. It was removed from the list of PB ammo few years a back.

That makes sense

So now only 9x19 is PB

19x9 and .38 special or .38 S&W are PB for handguns

Apparently this one will cost 5 lakhs (with tax), as per chatter on forums.
