Can you give details about 7.62 variant of M4
Sorry may be i confused you. I am not talking about a 7.62 variant but just the gun. Just saying that the gun M4A2 exists (you said that there is no such gun and i explained how "P" may have been added, remember? :) ). Although bushmaster have developed a 7.62 variant along with a 6.8mm available in both A2 and A3.

The Beretta ARX-200 automatic rifle was designed by famous Italian company Beretta on request from Italian army. This weapon is intended as a direct competitor to modern 7.62x51mm infantry / Special forces rifles such as FN SCAR-H, HK 417 or MKE MPT-76. The Beretta ARX-200 will complement 5.56mm ARX-160 assault rifles in service with Italian army, and will be offered for export. The 7.62x51mm Beretta ARX-200 rifle is externally similar to smaller 5.56mm ARX-160 rifle but is of different design. A dedicated DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) version with longer barrel and semi-automatic only trigger will be offered as well.



The Beretta ARX-200 automatic rifle is a gas operated, selective fired infantry weapon. It uses short stroke gas piston with manual gas regulator. Rotary bolt locks into the breech of the barrel, permitting for polymer receiver with metallic reinforcement inserts. Fired cartridge cases are ejected to the right side. The barrel could be removed for replacement or maintenance, but this procedure involves disassembly of the gun and use of special tools. The ARX-200 rifle is equipped with side-folding, adjustable polymer stocks, integrated Picatinny rail at the top of the receiver, and modular KeyMod forend. Ammunition is fed from detachable 20-round magazines made from polymer.

Berretta AXR is the most modular weapon.you can change different length barrels and change the caliber by changing lower receiver, magazine and barrel with surprising ease.

Also not sure if there is an other variant of SIG716 by different manufacturer. What was that about? what were your referring to? sorry i missed the point. PWS? (those MKs sure look awesome :P)
PWS is a weapon manufacturer in US - PWS = Primary Weapon Systems, there weapon is based on AR platform

Surprised that Magpul/Bushmaster hasn't sent the 7.62 NATO ACR.

OEMs for both rifles are different

MSRP is $6000 for Paratus Rifle. Not exactly an assault rifle.
Paratus® Gen-2 is a patented quick take down Semi-Automatic Rifle chambered in 7.62 Nato. The rifle can be assembled in less than 60 seconds without the use of any tools. It was originally developed for the Clandestine Break Down Sniper Rifle (CSR) project listed by Joint and Special Operations Program. It is the most compact auto loading rifle in the world, with features like folding Magpul adjustable stock. The patented recoil system eliminates standard buffer tube/recoil system which allows the rifle to be fired with the stock folded.

The Masada rifle was developed by US-based company Magpul Industries,which became famous for its line of aftermarket accessories and replacement parts for firearms. Work on the new modular rifle, suitable for civilian, police and military applications and designed more or less along the lines of the SCAR program commenced in 2006. First prototypes were shown to the public in 2007 at ShotShow, and early in 2008 it was announced that new rifle (previously known as Masada) willbe mass produced by famous American gun-making company Bushmaster Firearms. Current plans are to introduce civilian and police(semi-automatic) versions in mid-2009, with military select-fire version scheduled for production in late 2009. It is also planned to introduce Masada / BushmasterACR rifles in 5.56mm / .223 Rem caliber; other calibers might followlater. Magpul also is developing a 7.62x51 / .308 Win version of the Masada / ACR rifle, provisionally known as Masoud. It is still in early development and no information is available on its date of release to the public.

The Masada/ BushmasterACR rifle is gas operated, semi-automatic or selective-fired (Military version only) weapon of modular design. It utilizes aluminum allo yupper receiver, with polymer pistol grip / trigger / magazine housing(lower receiver) unit which is attached to the upper receiver using cross-pins. Various types of lower receivers are planned to accommodate different types of magazines (i.e. Ar-15 type magazines as opposed to AK-type magazines). The trigger / manual safety unit is made as a single removable item, and it mostly utilizes Ar-15-compatible parts. The barrels of ACR / Masada are quick-detachable, with short-stroke gas pistons attached to each barrel. To remove the barrel(for change, inspection or maintenance), user has to remove polymer handguards, then swing down the wire lever, located below the barrel,turn the barrel to unlock and pull it forward and out of the receiver.All barrels are free-floated within handguards to achieve consistent accuracy. Bolt group also is made as a single unit, with captive return spring and rotary multi-lug bolt which locks directly to the barrel breech. The standard magazine housing, which is suited to accept Ar-15 type magazines, has ambidextrous magazine release buttons. The ambidextrous bolt stop release button is located at the front of the triggerguard. Safety lever is also ambidextrous, and charging handle can be installed on either side of the gun, depending on user preferences. Depending on the version (or user preferences) ACR /Masada rifle can be equipped with various Magpul-made buttstocks, fixedor side-folding, and adjustable for length of pull (some also with adjustable cheek rest). Each Masada/ BushmasterACR rifle gas integral Picatinny rail on the top of the receiver;additional accessory rails can be installed on forend according to user preferences. Masada / BushmasterACR rifle can be fitted with removable iron sights, and/or with any optical or night sight with appropriate mounting.
