Upgrades done on INSAS from 1B1 to Mk.1C

-They upgraded receiver from usual stamped sheet receiver (with lots of rivets and/or pins) of 1B1 to a sturdy,milled one in Mk.1C.

-Moreover to that,curved trigger of 1B1 was straighten a little bit for comfortable 'quick taps' (i.e. rapid firing on semi-auto) in Mk.1C.I would like to tell you that same upgrade was done on MCIWS as well when they brought out AAR,as MCIWS had curvy trigger while AAR has straightened trigger.

-Barrel Lengh is shortened a little bit in Mk.1C,from 18'' in 1B1 to 16'' in Mk.1C.

-Gas block has also changed.In 1B1,they had put a 90 degree gas block with a gas cut-off + regulator.They've simplified it in MK.1C via replacing it with a 45 degree gas block without any cut off and regulator.

-1B1 has two modes of firings,Semi-Auto and 3-round burst,while Mk.1C has Semi-Auto and Full Auto as firing modes.

-My guess is they've changed recoil spring tension a little bit as Full Auto fire is introduced in Mk.1C.

-Firing Selector stops are changed to more ergonomic positions in Mk.1C.In 1B1,it goes like this - Safe,from 45 degree to Safe there is Semi and at 180 degree to Semi there is Burst,While in Mk.1C,it goes like this - Safe,from 30 degree to Safe there is Semi and further 30 degree gives Full Auto.

-They've put a little Picatiny Rail section on top of Mk.1C instead of Weaver Rail Section on 1B1.Moreover to that,they provided some sectional rails on bottom and sides of front handguard as well.
