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

[Quwa]

After the selection process started in 2015 (see page 1) and after 400 pages of evaluation by the members here, has the new service rifle been selected? Lol!

tbh ... whatever Zarvan looks at, it's not happening. Not even a hard signature will protect a deal from this fate (see what's going to the T129 deal). If it's been Zarvan'ed, it's gone.

They've made a decision, now they must work out the tendering process. Funds, tech transfer, establishing a factory, quality control, certification and more importantly training soldiers to use a new weapon.

Derwaish It must be x39 rifle which is more important than x51 because of continuing ops etc. I dont think there is a rush for x51 rifles.

Pakistan has no special love for X 39 Caliber Janab. Our SSG the moment they got their hands on M4 pretty much has stopped using Type 56 even now many LCB and even Rangers are seen with M4. So I really doubt their is any rush for this caliber any more.

Mufakir M4 should be made more broader and that is a perfect gun for police. For military use x39 has yet to have an equal its here to stay. The rifle needs to be updated. If there was no love for x39 then why was POF upgraded to produce more x39 ammo?

M4 is better than Type 56 but still requires way to much oiling Janab. We are now using them because it's better than Type 59 and we got them for free.

Hazrat x39 is still strong otherwise the tender for a new rifle in x39 makes no sense! There were issue's with type56 which was a short term solution. M4 after the operation began to wind down did start to appear more. It makes sense. But if the situation ever deteriorates then you will see x39 on the front.

The war was won on x39 Derwaish not 556!! What is type 59?

Army has no issue in dropping this caliber also. Their is pretty much equal opinion in Army right now which says they don't need this caliber any more. 5.56 and X 51 are more than enough. We may very well see Armed Forces eventually dropping this caliber. In Close Combat Battles SSG opinion matters the most which lead these battles and in which mainly Type 56 was being used and the moment they got a better Rifle in 5.56 they shifted to that

We didn't get M4 for free, please don't lie. We had incremental purchase of M4 over the years. Free provision happened during 2006-2009 but very limited numbers.

Hazrat I have no issue with 556 or x39. Both calibres have their merits.
