XYON, any news regarding which weapon is selected, I was reading an article that stock AK-47's Russian made cheap, would Pak Army consider getting themm ???

Why don't they consider Sig 556 Russian Rifle R556762R16B, 7.62mmX39mm?

I like SIG sauer 556, check out this video

Army is always looking for NEW weapons and not refurbished, stocked or disposable ones! There are a billion AK-47's out there for each type, but Army has to purchase a weapon that will be from new production

are we going for change or not, make clear dear?

are we going for change or not, make clear dear?

I just heard some probabilities, nothing too concrete, nothing final.

But as XYON said, 'GHQ succumbs'. I guess that makes it pretty clear that the final decision has been taken.

Two years ago the Chinese sold 10,000 Type-56 rifles to Pakistan Army at US$76 a piece. This year they are going to sell around 4000 more of the same rifles at US$100 a piece. It is also rumored that 'brother' of a GHQ leader is behind these deals! Need I elaborate more?

But the type -56 is being manufactured by POF.
After the initial off the shelf sale all the rest of the type-56 supplied to PA were the POF manufactured variety.

Incorrect! POF is NOT manufacturing the Type-56 Chinese SMG! They are being purchased directly from China through Poly Technologies which is a business arm of the Chinese PLA Army.
