Haha more then 70% parts can't be produce at home due to alloys which we don't have facilities to produce at home check the facts.
And which they refuses to allow or TOT.
OK breaking news...
Pakistan wants aluminium plus gun metal instead of alloys to produce at home ignoring weight issue but SCAR refuses.
Okay, first of all, PA is starting the competition asking all the contenders to offer ToT, so if SCAR refuses, PA will simply buy the next best one.
Second, in the beginning, PA didn't have the facilities to produce the G3 either; when the G3 won, HK gave the necessary machinery and training to Pakistan, in order to produce the gun domestically.
Whom ever wins this competition, will be helping set up the necessary equipment and machinery to produce the rifle at home. A standard army service rifle RELIES upon domestic production, that is partly what makes the rifle standard.
To my knowledge, FN has neither refused, nor confirmed anything. If it refused, I can bet you right now, they'd never even be in the competition.
Also, HK didn't lose in the competition, it simply didn't answer Pakistan's request to join the competition; You can't lose something you never had.
@balixd @Quwa @Bilal Khan (Quwa) can you help here? Please correct me, if I'm wrong.

On a lighter note, if you ARE a professional, talk to the mods about getting you a tag that shows as such. If you can prove who you claim to be, you'll probably get the tag.
