Turkey has ordered a second tranche of its new MPT-76 service rifle, the Undersecretariat for Defence Industries (SSM) announced on 16 December.

Signed with local company Kalekalip and worth TRY60 million (USD18 million), the contract for the second tranche includes 15,014 of the 7.62x51 mm chambered battle rifles for the Turkish army, navy, and gendarmerie.

The contract is the second part of an initial serial production phase including 35,014 rifles. The first tranche of this initial phase, including 20,000 rifles, was contracted to state-owned company Machines and Chemical Industries Board (MKEK) in June for around TRY80 million.

1200 USD for per rifle .. It is the reasonable price to replace army G-3

Let see but after recent contract with Germany although that contract is related HIT I think HK-417 can be the one which would we go for.

Contract with germany was involved with HIT... Not POF

I know that I said it but this gives a signal Germany has no issue selling us weapons so it's quite possible we would also soon go for HK-417

You are forgetting the royalty that has to be paid per rifle.

Royalty can be compensated against cheap labour and overhead cost ... Moreover ordering in bulk will reduce material cost as well

Well I think we should ask other Turkish members also on what is the price of one MPT-76
