Small arms and Light Weapons

[Arjun Mk1A]

that's 6.8mm Remington one and it's originally from Amreeka, it's quite old from around 2005 times;
and Remington still holds rights military version of said ammo
already covered in past

Maybe ARDE can play with the material and do some testing to bring the optimum design. But Army settles for 7.62x39mm for now.

What about Ak 204 this looks perfect for this job and can be made in India?

Well it's good for small & short duration engagements however not for RR. Due to shorter barrel, the 7.62 powder burning is inefficient and recoil is much sharper (can't be trusted under stressful CQB conditions). Accuracy is another issue that sucks for baby TAR. But the biggest problem is the temperature that handguards attain after prolonged firing. The average engagement time of RR sometimes goes even beyond 24 hrs.
It may be used by CAPF, CRPF, Police and special units.

Actually, you get very decent velocity with 7.62 out of short barrels also. I think this can be a substitute for carbines in service, and the planned 5.56 carbine.

The Ruskis have already milked us enough for the 203. Getting license manufacturing of 204 will be another expensive ordeal. BTW, OFB did create a successful Arsenal AK clone named TAR. What's stopping them from doing further R&D and creating an entire family of 7.62 and 5.56 rifles around it?

@Johny_Baba and everyone else who has the Technical Knowledge to do so, please save the important information and pictures compiled here and in the INSAS thread, we will lose a shit ton of material compiled over the years here on July 10 if things continue going south for DFI.

Actually TARs are mediocre compared with Ak104s due to the shorter barrel length.Though 7.62 is not that bad on krink barrels compared with 5.56, it fares better in Ak104 platforms.

These Azerbaijani PK variants were more suited for us than comparatively complex Negevs.

When you reject a company for not meeting financial requirements but buy initial batch of AK 203s from the same anyways.

Atleast they could've rejected AK 19 in form of Barrel length and stated it as rigorious requirement.
