Saw the Myanmar DI brochures online with a Google e-mail address for contacting them. Wondering if it's safe to ask for brochures? (Don't know if they can do PDF or just pictures).

Any new photos of this MA-1 Mk III rifle? I heard that the look has changed (looks brown now) due to the...
Haven’t been back for a while.
Saw some of the new FB photos on the previous page. Any new info with the MA-3s or any of the other small arms?
PS - I really want a copy of the brochure that MDI is showing in Thailand
Man, the Trichy just (almost) cloned the Arsenal M1s.
Did the pistol grip for the Ghatak change? It looks... really odd for AK standards. And if so, since when?
Been a while, but I was waiting for the site's admin to update these articles since I got new info when I was researching...

Haven't been back in a while since I found some photos of Myanma small arms with a digital camera date stamp while doing some research.
Not sure if the date stamp is legit, although it tells the story of when the Mk IIIs were first on display. Would like to get help for some...
Updating to say that the article on the MA AR family will be published soon. I realize that they may have errors/things I missed during my open source research.
Decided to come here and ask on the M18 carbine.
Is it based on the XM-177s captured from Allied Forces in the Vietnam War and then modernized? I was under the initial impression that Z111 makes them.
Good to hear. I swore that the shape did look like a Glock 17. But if you say so.
Are there any further pics of the MA-5 Mk 2? I only saw pics here that were uploaded on the net since 2014.
Doing some research a bit on the MA-6. I heard that it's designated for the SIG-Sauer P226 being used.
Can someone confirm if this is wrong? I found this out from the Small Arms Illustrated website years ago.
Thanks.
You know the formal name of the airborne regiment in the Tatmadaw?
Also, is it Special Operation Task Force or Special Operations Task Force? I don't know which one is correct, but I see the first one being used in English-language materials.
No problem. I included a blurb about the Tatmadaw adopting it to replace the M2s. I also mentioned that photos of it surfaced in 2014.
I got a photo from FB somewhere on a Myanmar airborne commando with the MA-3 Mk. III.
Of course if I'm wrong, feel free to let me know.
Good news. My article on the STK 50 MG is going to go live in a few days.
Although it looks like TFB has info on the MA-1 Mk I/IIs being able to use rifle grenades. Good thing I held it back in case there's new material. I remember seeing a photo of a Tatmadaw soldier with the BA203 and rifle...
