This channel is a gold mine, he’s most likely an NSG Armourer, I had posted his videos of rare videos and finds from Indian forces on DFI. Good to see he’s still going strong.

Usually they’re pretty accurate, so I doubt it’s an EF op.Could be engagement farming. Any other source confirming this?

Just change the fixed sight to flippable sights. Change the hand guard to MLOK style. Boom we have Gucci gear. Also remove the attachments of slings.
Following things I would change about the weapon :It has a monolithic upper. It will retain zero without much fuss.

- spot welded iron sights from the INSAS
- FAL style charging handle (why?)
- weird pistol grip
- folding buttstock
- magazine well
Why don't they simply port over these features from the UGRAM rifle (7.62x51 mm)?

While SSS is doing great when it comes to aesthetics and ergonomics, ARDE still believe in the 90s design philosophy.
A full length quad rail and a proper buttstock isn't rocket science though. It has been around for decades. Goes to show how stubborn the people designing these things are that they have never bothered to go ahead with modern times.ARDE do not have much connect with Modern Standards for Guns. They need to deal with IA and we all know IA is weird with requirement for guns.
