Design[]

The modular gun is an advanced gas-operated rifle with rotating bolt head and piston op-rod driven fixed gas system. It is suitable for ambidextrous use. It has a maintenance free gas system up to 10,000 rounds which minimises fouling and heat. The chrome plated cold hammer forged barrel is free floating. The gun is quite ergonomic with its modular flip-up iron sight and five-position telescopic adjustable stock. The gun's length is 655 mm (25.8 in) when the stock is extended. It is made in 3 barrel length options, 368mm (14.5 in) 280mm (11 in) and 190 mm (7.5 in). The gun weights 2,630 grams (93 oz) excluding the magazine.[1]
