So can we assume that trials for service rifle replacement will also endup in something made in POF?

When it comes to Pakistan nothing is final.

keeping the hope alive for FN SCAR.

Not for FN SCAR. But we can rejected PK 18 and may opt for some Turkish option. But now best path is going for AK-200 series and improving PK 18 with Turkey's help.

Turkish didn't performed well in trials ...

AK 103 is good, but I think 107 was better. Anyway, now I don't see anything better coming in picture.

Still Turkey can help improve PK 18 and also develop 5.56 x 45 version of it.

Oh yeah Pak POF was gaining popularity here for the mp5 pistol so they had to make a US POF to confuse public. I don't think this is by coincidence. POF Wah should sue this company for copyright.

Improve what bro?
POF isnt an amateur company, if they developed a rifle they sure can add a few bells and whistles .

This AK103 is missing it's typical muzzle break. And surely the final product will have rails, etc. It's actually kinda of funny, both Pakistan and India back end soldiers will be using AK series - AK103, AK203.

 

[Hassan Guy]

Ye nice but don't expect much out of it for now at least.

POF: We got some nice new rifles rolling out, will you approve it's mass production?

To me that looks likes an AKS with black furniture.

Ak-103.
