    he is pissed because he's an amreeki, and an actual soldier and a forum member here @hammer head had certain criticism over SIG716I, an amreeki product and he is further ranting because i left two angry 😡 emojis under his last posts where he's now blaming it on our men with arms

    also as far as i know that 'theprint' article IS THE ONLY article that mentions repeat order on news; rest all cites this one as ;source; for entire repeat order thing; and even in article it's written as ;they are in final stage of repeating order; 'to ink' etc future tenses back then; so did...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Good so now you agree this post by you isn't entirely accurate now please don't blame the army over issues that they did not create; put that blame at right place on right people the only reason i'm arguing is not over SIG716i being good or bad, it is what it is but you said ;aal waz well...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    ? :yawn: polymer handguards sticking to bare naked hands in cold weather is less likely to happen compared to metallic one, so at least in this regard some issues could have been prevented We hear about lots of issues on INSAS, but never ever about its polymer handguards sticking in hands of...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    >But what was stopping Army from asking them to provide one? If SIG Sauer can develope a custom DI AR-10 just for our requirements, don't you think they could have supplied grips or even covers? because it was not Indian Army which procured them on their terms and trials at all, heck it's very...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    how is that not related to weapons? SIG SAUER in their cost cutting spree didn't provide rail covers and now they have to cover it with spare camo clothing when in cold or getting gloves which we know often goes with soldiers' pocketmonies instead of being issued as standard...if OFB had done...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    oh i forgot to mention, we also have tonnes of those SLR rifles = Indian derivative of British L1A1 SLR and FN FAL (mostly based on British SLR but with some FAL design elements as well), currently serving as secondary service rifle in Indian Armed Forces, Indian Police Forces and so This one...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    my best guess is, SIG716is would keep serving to forward deployed troops deployed at borders touching Pakistan and China, rest ones would keep using INSAS and given AK-203 in future, for 7.62 NATO rifles, maybe in future we would end up getting Galil ACE in 7.62 NATO which is already...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    At this stage my best ;suggestion; to PSUs and govt agencies like ARDE - DRDO - AWEIL (successor of OFB) is, to revive MCIWS//AAR project, FIX SOME APPARENT DESIGN FLAWS ON IT, upscale it to 7.62 NATO... i mean MCIWS/AAR isn't a perfect design judging from obvious things on it but it was more...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    oh wait wait wait i just realised... is army facing bullet stucking inside the barrel - like failures on SIG716i, i.e. squib load ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squib_load >SIG716i might be having relatively lighter barrel on it - rounds causes "barrel bulges" , bulges ensured after a...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    SIG Sauer do make good weapons, but i'd like to remind how they were involved in shoddy deals here, trying to bribe us for selling their guns for various small arms tender during era of the previous govt, all i was trying to say is, we shouldn't overlook lobbying-bribing-corruption etc angles...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    reminder, this short stroke gas piston AR was in competition back then, originally from amreeka by UWS (Unified Weapons System) in partnership with Tonbo imaging for providing optics, they provided these thigns to Peruvian army in both 5.56 NATO and 7.62 NATO, back then this didn't...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Sir your faith in SIG is firm but you might want to read about how SIG Sauer's P320 pistols replacing Beretta M9 in the US Armed Forces were going bang bang on their own even with slightest of impact on them, they jokingly started calling it ;grenade pistol; due to that, SIG had to recall many...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    I believe it's just part of the package, along with cleaning kits etc, perhaps SIG got it made in (south, of course) Korea at some contractor hence it has got that marking ? as for our ability to make bayonets here...why even thinking like that bhai we've been making bayonets for all of our...
