Would take this with truck load of salt simply because the news itself says "Oman is still evaluating its requirements for the rifles to be ordered "

I will just request everyone to hold on for confirmation from media houses or from bloggers such as shiv arror or ak or Ajai shukla , etc....

If this is true then this will be in the mainstream media shortly.

"Oman is still evaluating its requirements for the rifles to be ordered" means there are different types of INSAS rifles available for different applications. They must be evaluating which of those rifles will suite best. Recently DRDO/OFB came up with new versions of INSAS, they are extremely good and performed well in trials.

which were the other rifles(if any) Oman was evaluating.

Is it the standard INSAS like used by IA or INSAS derivative like excaliber

There still hasnt been any reporting in mainstream media....this will be a big win for indian defence..if its true....This should be reported.

I have my doubts on this news.
