Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

HK, Colt, SIG, Remington, Bushmaster, Daewoo, Norinco, FAMAE...US is actively looking for a newer round and is researching caseless ammo. The HK433 is not intended for the military market.

I stand corrected, but a fair number of major OEMs responded. Also, aren't Colt, Remington and Bushmaster based out of the US? That could be a factor on them not showing up, especially with Pakistan's ToT and re-marketing/sales needs.

PA is distributing SCAR manuals to officers and officers are being told that SCAR is the rifle

Unless we can get a reliable verification, I remain skeptical.

I think even when POF chose G-3, it was not the best at that time either. If SCAR is not the best, even that doesn't make it unfit for the next service rifle of PA.
BTW my sixth sense is telling me that next rifle be coming from Italy or Russia, not Belgium.

Indeed I remember one of the senior members Blain mentioning this a few years back, apparently the M-16 performed the best and was the preferred weapon though for political and financial reasons G-3 was selected.

g3 is the round that was needed. one can quibble whether the FAL could've been chosen.

Even if SCAR gets selected we have massive Police Force to equip and also we have much bigger market to cover I think we should look for two more Rifle series if we can get export permission for them and produce them in Pakistan. We can earn billions if we offer Range

I believe if we are going to go for a universal rifle, look to co produce on ewith foreign vendors on pakistani specs as JV

For last time I am telling you HK-417 didn't come because Germany doesn't allow its companies to sell weapons to non NATO countries. How many times we have to tell you that ??????????

The selection will happen post Q2 and all folks here will continue to claim to have the inside scoop; which is rather dirty and puts the brass in a bad light.

On this we can agree as their is ample evidence to back your claim.
