[Indo Defense 2018] MKE’s Bora-12 Precision Rifle, Orders Taken

[Zarvan]

The JMK Bora-12 (or JNG-90) isn’t exactly new or groundbreaking as the Turkish state-owned arms company MKEK has been working on it since 2004. However what is new is the configuration that we sawat Indo Defense 2018. Essentially updating the design, the Bora-12 is going to start to see wider use in the Turkish Land Forces. More than a hundred rifles have been ordered for service with Turkish soldiers.

Similar to the KNT-76 Designated Marksman Rifle, the Bora-12 had a 3E EOS Keskin 3-12×50 scopemounted to the optic rail. It has room for a backup iron rear sight, in addition to a very peculiar Picatinny rail machined directly into the compensator that is intended for a backup iron front sight. Also similar to the KNT-76, right now MKE is the sole producer of the JMK Bora-12 instead of Kales and Sarsilmaz being awarded contracts for production. This is no surprise due to the relative size of the Bora-12 production run compared to the MPT-76 rifles.
