Turkish Infantry - Rifles , reconsideration?

[Philip the Arab]

MPT-76 costs 1200$ for The Turkish Army...
For example HK-416 costs around 3000$...

I dunno, I thought PA already say this gun isn't good for the summer in Pakistan which is why it was eliminated.

Turkish sources claimed that it was because ''test samples that tested brutally in Turkey'' got sent to Pakistan, and Turkey wants to send new rifles. But I don't know neither. Maybe it is just suitable for Pakistan, who knows...

Could production be transferred to Pakistan easily? I thought most AR platform guns are using CNC machining mostly.

I thought so considering how many damn companies produce the AR-15 in America. AK variants are much harder to produce unless you invest in good forges.

Pakistan's current , inventory has these

While these are rugged , but due for modernization effort
The Turkish rifles are certainly much more modern

It is still a WW2 style rugged weapon but with time all things need to move towards the future and newer tech

While the whole Armed forces can't perhaps be upgraded but 100,000 to 200,000 for elite units would be great start

Why not just get a recognized designer like UAE did to design their rifles? They hired the same designers as the HK416 with some changes on an already great platform, and it is in use in multiple countries and exported to America for civilians as well.

Only MKE would mess up that bad, they should have sent the examples of KALE or SARSILMAZ

People have said it is a little bit worse HK417 copy on Quora. What do you think of that?

I have said this over and over get choose one Rifle series from the Guns which were selected from our trials. And design one AR based Rifle with Turkey's help which has all 3 calibers. I mean 5.56 X 45 and 7.62 X 39 and 7.62 X 51.

Similarly , I think the Pakistani Rifle program while it is Great , because at end of day our Existing refiles will still kill enemy but we do need to move forward with even better option

The Turkish Rifle looks a upgrade over our existing weaponry

Sure we can't order may be 2-3 Million rifles , from Turkey but how about we start off with 50,000-100,000 rifles from Turkey for elite soldiers

Plus it would be great incentive to reward soldiers as they rank up
