P-72 7.62x39mm rifle with the Tonbo Apollo VX 5x40mm sight, AR15 Pattern rifle with 14.5 inch barrel with a Vortex AMG UH-1 Huey Holographic sight and the Tonbo Spartan-SH clip-on TI sight as well as a Suppressor, AR15 pattern with 16 inch barrel, Viper 7.62x51 Sniper and Saber .338 LM Sniper.
Just a query , whats the operating system of the ar 15s , Short stroke gas piston or DI based ?
Also they could've gone with Magpul stocks , since they're already in our inventory

Go through the thread, a few pages back I’ve posted Screenshots of my conversation with Viv Krishnan asking the same questions, you’ll get your answers.

I know that it'll be inside the handguard Saar 😒

But where is it? I can't see it through the slots in the handguard

Pic quality is good enough to be zoomed and his concern is valid. Ideally, we should be able to see that gas block unless they had these models specifically for a photoshoot.

Sorry then my phone's got a bad resolution. I wonder what they're gonna pitch their LR version for and what the hell happened to RECR and DMR programme ? Why'd they stopped displaying those . I still believed that RECR had some chances in primary issue AR competition , looking ak-103m deal(since I don't consider the India version 203) pace .

SBR variant of the AR15 patterned rifle is being pitched for the Carbine deal, but they haven’t yet publicly shown a model of it.
“Nope, there wasn’t a JV (with LMT), we thought there could be one but it never happened since the guys refused any tech sharing without contracts from the army & min orders. This rifle is an entirely new ground up construct, 100% indigenous design, based on a DI system but we’re also keen on a later stage short stroke piston op sys, 14.5” barrel, fires the 5.56x45 NATO but we’re working to adapt to the INSAS round as well. U can share on DFI. We’ll come out in the open officially later but it’s not a secret any more since the army has a 350,000 CQB Carbine RFP in the fray. We’re technically the only fully Indian option that is available from the production floor”.
“U’ll see a short barrel length version and that’s the main weapon. Also a long barrel version that can be adapted to a mag fed LMG role. However, we’re focused on the SBR”. -Viv Krishnan.

I see , this is somewhat on the footsteps of HK416 and Scar . Similarity in initiative with the HAMR and IAR 27

Not only gas block and gas tube, but also something else's missing, i'd advise you all to watch these pics carefully AS well as the vdo they posted on their youthoob channel around 2:24 onwards, and no i'm not talking about missing dust cover on their AR but something more crucial in its operating...

a hint - it is present in one of their AR but not on other...and if it would be missing it won't go full auto...;)

😏 i actually noticed it all during the very first day the vdo came out and even started writing a post but then i needed to focus on real life stuff 😪 so put it in draft and...later made up my mind over writing it and just deleted it all...why bother...

as for @AlphaRaiderZ 's question, it is undoubtly (stoner pattern) direct impingement gas system weapon, a typical AR styled, as you can clearly see gas vent holes on the bolt carrier on centre;

however the gas block+tube etc "seems" not to be installed on their build so it could be at maxx a ;manual action rifle; at this stage...so yeah...
