[Stimpy75]

Nope it's 5.56

 

[ziya]

is there any tech difference between kale/sniper versus bora 12,in other words both of them capable to fire lapua or .308 win ammos or not
I think we should do some of rifles suitable for 7.62x39mm because some countries prefer it

in the USSR and Russia SVD dragunov has been used as a marksman gun. I think you forgot the caliber of SVD.
SVD has 7.62x54mmR caliber.
But 7.62x39mm has been used for Ak-47 and SKS.

IDEF 2017- MKEK Introduces 5.56x45mm MPT-55 Rifle

MKEK has taken to IDEF 2017 this year by releasing a 5.56x45mm NATO version of their 7.62x51mm NATO MPT-76, a Turkish made AR10. The select-fire, piston operated MPT-55 comes in two variants, a standard barrel configuration of 14.5 inches and 7.3 pounds, and a shorter version at 11 inches and 6.6 pounds designated the MPT-55K. There are some minor additions that MKEK has added to their 5.56x45mm design that differentiates it from a mil spec M4 or H&K 416. The pistol grip resembles that of a Hogue grip and appears to have an internal storage compartment within it. The trigger guard has been pushed out, possibly to accommodate for cold weather gloves. The buffer end plate has an incorporated sling attachment socket on either side, in addition, it has a magazine release catch on the left side that combined with the plate socket and a sling swivel embedded in the stock make it much more ambidextrous than a standard AR15. Magazines appear to be either a translucent variety or production polymer versions from Turkish company Safir Arms. Safir is an interesting company because magazines have been seen in use on Iranian production rifles and even with various Peshmerga elements.

The operational requirements for both of these rifles are for Turkish Special Forces to replace their Turkish license produced H&K 416s with 20,000 of these MPT-55s and MPT-55Ks. An example of one of these earlier 416 based versions-

Is it MPT 76 ? If yes why is it looking quite different than other ones ?

@sharpshooter version. Not sniper. They develop it. MKEK was not capable to optimize the weapon , now Kale makes the job.

You mean it's proper Assault Rifle @Horus

Yes brother. MPT-76 is now optimized for special missions. Unfortunately MKEK delivered first batch of 500 , they were not reliable ( Ops. Es- tested). Now Kale is resposible.

Btw Kale was a little lock producer before. Now they have perfect Gov. Contacts thats how business is going in Turkey.

It is just with a different paint job and a regular 16" barrel. Look at more carefully!

 

[eagleeye]

Kale is producing there own slightly different variant of mpt 76. Knt- 76 has longer barrel.

KNT-76

Why do we still let MKE do anything? With them as the main producer, it's gonna take another 10 years before the rifle will be completely adopted.
