Just stumbled upon this article,looks like some private company in Turkey made a 338 LM semi-auto sniper rifle by the name DKM.Then again my Turkish is quite limited so maybe some members here can tell us more about it.

Do you know what turret we will use in T629?

Sarsılmaz, which has no original design product, continues cloning.

SAR127 - FN MAG clone
SAR240 - Browning M2 clone

I mean you could take many good parts of different rifles and engineer it together so that you have a own product.

I don't.

SAR240 - Browning M2 clone

Not really sure who Sarsilmaz plans to sell these guns to,considering MKEK just made a FN MAG copy and has been making the M2 for decades now.
Given the fact that Sarsilmaz already made an local AK version i was hoping for a Turkish made PKM,which would be a much better choice than the M240 they made.
