what's with the canted mount on a perfectly fine picatinny rail

Thermal. It swings in and out of the way of the scope.

Source ?
Matlab kuch bhi
I have literally read somewhere that we have made complete payment for AK-203 but Russians not able to get it due to sanctions and we will not leave it just like that
AK-203 is reality
Production issues will be sorted

Ak 203 production started last year only, they are supposed to deliver first batch this year in march.
Previously directly purchase 70k ak203 were delivered.
Why are people saying it's cancelled or stopped at least wait till the delivery date.

I am confused about the R&D part he said.Thought they were just doing the screwdriver job assigned to them by IWI.

These firearms seem no different than what you find in IWI's catalog. They must've received complete ToT and replicated the processes to develop component suppliers and testing methods. These days, every private firm mentions "R&D" just to supplement the Atmanirbhar narrative

Might be talking about the Indian version of Arad they were working on that's what the news was on Twitter

We should have put our money in the caracal or the haenel guns instead of buying the Israeli ones for Special Forces.

This is a carbine de Versailles model IX
Calibre - 14.5 mm
Rifling - 13.5 mm

This is a baker rifle , Calibre - 15.6 mm
Rifling - 15.9 mm.

The carbine de Versailles was a French rifle built during time of naepoloen 1 , emperor of the France aka naepoloen Bonaparte or " lil Boney " , ( he was of the average height though for the era .)
In french the carbine was the word for a rifle , so baker and Versailles both are comparable.
Now the Versailles was meant to be issued to voltegeur battalions .

These were voltegeur or skirmishers, they acted as scouts , advance parties etc .
They didn't fight in a battle formation, thus they needed a very accurate weapon.
The rifle was the answer,
The Versailles had a range of 300 metres, very comfortable and the 14.5 mm lead ball would generally put a man down .
But yet they were not built in numbers , while there were thousands of voltegeurs , if not millions in the Grande armee.
The number made was just 3,000 .
Thing is although accurate, they were slower to reload than muskets , and the 14.5 mm lead ball was difficult to ram in a 13.5 mm barrel.
So they used this

A French charleville dragoon musket .
Now it fired a heavier ball , but it was highly inaccurate.
Thus the skirmishers or voltegeurs were at a severe disadvantage against the

British rifle battalions , or the grass hoppers.
These were armed with a baker rifle of which 22,000 plus were built .
The world's first rifle which had a impact on a war.
These could counter voltegeurs from a long range , which voltegeurs were unable to do after thier carbine de Versailles was banned by Bonaparte.

This a British east india company unit , they are armed with a musket .

This is a French east india company unit , they too armed with q musket.
The thing is both are different muskets.
The british one is a brown Bess.
And the french one is a charleville.
Very difficult to find the illustrations of indian troops carrying two of the most used muskets of the 18 th century era .

 

[Love Charger]

The difference is the construction of muskets look at those small steel rings on the french one , along the barrel
That's. A charleville
Then the brown Bess has no such rings, instead pins were used to hold the wooden furniture together along the barrel

alright, my further conceptual modification of Ugram design,
- removed fixed iron sight post at front and provided a simple flip-up type top rail mounted sight at front
- replaced its buttstock mount with a vertical picatinny rail mount, so any kind of picatinny mounted buttstock could pe put on same weapon

same with a picatinny mounted buttstock at rear, this is B&T's MBT adjustable buttstock, it folds + provides length adjustments + provides cheek riser; here fully opened

Decent looking AK in 7.62x51 ? sign me up. And get rid off the Ak203 in the meantime.

from the looks and features it seems more like another fork of Trichy assault rifle than Excalibur Mk1, because
> receiver pattern itself is from Trichy, do note Excalibur still has got INSAS pattern riveted rails receiver and so
> that AK style fire selector + now they also made bolt carrier AK style with fixed charging handle and all ?

so i kind of don't agree with calling it Excalibur fork, for me it seems more like Trichy fork tbh

What is from INSAS line is hinged top cover and gas tube section here; then there is lightning milling on the bolt carrier which is clearly inspired from Galil ACE line although i think such things should be not done just for sake of shedding some weight when it could rather give a space for dust and outside gunk to accumulate there like those lightning cuts on SLR; sometimes simpler is better

overall nice development but i still think they should have opted for Ugram style gas tube section instead of INSAS one, like duh INSAS' gas tube section requires a separate tube-like block affixed to front trunnion which further adds some mass there and requires a part which could easily have been eliminated had they opted for Ugram style design for that particular section

What happens to ARDE and AWEIL?

Suddenly unveiling some 7.62*51 rifles. Does GOI sending some message regarding the mess called AK-203 which is even mysterious than Bermuda triangle.

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
