Is this new 7.62*51 mm rifle showcased by the Ichapore rifle factory, the latest iteration of the one shown in the Sandeep Unithan video of around 6 years ago, which was unveiled around 2017?
This rifle was rejected by the Army over recoil issues.
There was also a video of Gen Y.K. Joshi (retd.) firing this gun with a hip stance position, and commenting "Iska recoil kaafi hain".
It is still R2 with AK style selector. Look at the Insas style detachable gas tube with release lever under the hand guard.Nope. This is the new gun. The older one looks like an INSAS derivative and the new one more in line with AK with that AK selector.
I don’t know who else wants anoyhrt set of 7.62x51 weapons as those kinda ones are suited for only LAC and LOC.In all other areas those 7.62 Natos are overkills plus the recoil is a burden.Plus no other CAPF uses SLRs except one or two in a company level for grenade lobbing for which there exists Ubgls.most likely, trying to get some share in the huge pie of 7.62 NATO rifle requirements here; besides the govt already put it in that import restriction list so i'd guess SIG716I would be heavily supplemented by one of these desi rifle in future with rear echelons or paramilitary; those 1A SLRs are already decades old and their barrels and all would have been near wearing out so these newer rifles may also serve as a fair replacement for those ones
Look at the finish of rear sight.Two years into service those are going to get rustDecent looking AK in 7.62x51 ? sign me up. And get rid off the Ak203 in the meantime.
Maybe polymer sights with tritium inserts, picatinny rail extended all the way back. As for rough finish it's evident everywhere; from the rivets that don't look like a quality job, trigger guard, cut notches, front handguard, etc.I don’t know who else wants anoyhrt set of 7.62x51 weapons as those kinda ones are suited for only LAC and LOC.In all other areas those 7.62 Natos are overkills plus the recoil is a burden.Plus no other CAPF uses SLRs except one or two in a company level for grenade lobbing for which there exists Ubgls.

Beautiful
Army: not satisfied with the performance. Let's upgrade the insas.
Did the rfi tender for carbine even move forward? It's been over a year @Chinmoy or anyone else has any info?Army: not satisfied with the performance. Let's upgrade the insas.
I bet you M72 will be inducted by central forces but not the army. Govt must shove a good rifle down army's throat like they did with insas. Its for their own good.Did the rfi tender for carbine even move forward? It's been over a year @Chinmoy or anyone else has any info?
The first thing I noticed was the charging Handel isn't popping out anymore so obv they have been constantly working on the design and improving it good to know that.
