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

Why are you discounting the BW-20? It could be a good replacement. Compared to the G3, it is lighter, it has a reduced recoil, and it is more compact. Moreover, according to Mr. Salman Ali, it is cheaper to produce than the G3.

Is it made of aluminum? Gas block looks like Scars. Looks like POF "Scarized" the G3. Probably doesn't have the royalty payments to HK.....that's why its cheaper than G3.

Looks like a very stable, low recoil rifle despite using 7.62×39 mm rounds.

Let’s see if they build bolt lock back feature like he said a year ago. Looks good. Also if they still go with polymer lower, that will reduce weight and cost.

“The version presented in the pictures is a pre-production prototype, the final version should have a bolt hold open mechanism as well as an ambidextrous magazine release and selector. The prototype has a lower receiver machined from aluminum, the production version is designed to have a polymer lower receiver.”

Its the benefit of roller delayed blowback. CW20 with 7.62x51 rounds looks easier to control on full auto then the AK with 7.62x39 rounds in you tube vids.

So CW39 and CW20 will be the new PA rifles.....Finally some resolution. Based on specs they have all the modern rifle features and can be made locally using existing G3 industrial machinery.

No right now POF has developed them. Will Army like them or not is yet to be seen.

I would say main issue will be the quality of the production variants. On paper they check all the boxes.

@Zarvan Is that a G3?

Hmm, that may have been addressed in the BW20.

I am more then 100 % sure what will be Army's response after they test first batch

They should redesign the upper receiver and handguard such that the cocking tube is covered, and the rifle features a full-length rail at the top. Perhaps they can combine the upper and the handguard into a one-piece upper - as in the FN Scar. It will help distinguish the rifle from the legacy G3 series and increase mounting points and aesthetic appeal.

Something like this.

Its been adopted Salman Ali said we can see it in armys hands soon.
