I never said we were issuing these weapons to LEA or Military Forces, these are bought by vailas like myself and other enthusiasts....last wednesday I visited few of the factories in Peshawar....
Situation is somewhat like this.....
* Upper and Lower is being machined using 7071 AL ......few of them are doing this job n hous on cnc machine while some are procuring these from Punjab.......
* all small parts are being made locally
* stock, rail, grip is being ordered from china
* barrel is being made on machine now.this is good but there is major hiccup.....there is no heat treatment on the barrel hence integrity is questioned....
* same goes for BCG / Bolt Carrier Group....they are machined but not heat treated......
* now coming to the fun part, NATO stuff
- packed new barrel for M4 is available in market, at the price of 50k to 55k
- BCG packed being retailed at 45-50k
- there is barrel of FN Minimi also available which after little tweaking is fitted to M4....now this is heavy bull barrel but since there is tweaki invovlved it requires soldering by some serious professionals in darra and cannot be trusted any tdh
- new Rails for Colt LE with gripnare available in market for 35k.....
Now using these mil spec parts one can actually build a Miltary grade gun under 200k......
Here few pics from on factory, others did not allow pictures in he machining area....
