Note: Photo has been reversed, there is no change in forward assist function.

Sarsılmaz had lowered the weight to 4 kg

Looks like MKE managed to get it down to 3.7 kg

Looks like that distal aiming sight is foldable now

MKE and Army should have a research center dedicated to lightweighting for military applications

Refining of the butstock made the rifle more handsome. The more slender the looks the better.
I hope some upgrade to the pieces in the field can be made to make soldiers happier.

Likely the weight was reduced as a result of the feedbacks from soldiers.

This is a very good weight reduction! For example one of the nicest and lightest 7.61x51 rifles the SIG-716I TREAD modified with the special handguard from SIG (TREAD) is 150gr heavier but it is more thinner and it has longer handguard. I think MKEK did a good job with their modification. Now when they enter inventory lets see the feedback of the soldiers. I am looking positive at this. I think the next to be modified with new handguard type would be KNT-76.

They should upgrade the rifles that are already in use in the army not just the new batches.

They had better pass to 5.56 mm. It would solve all completions from soldiers. Reducing weight how will effect reliability?

Not sure but I believe soldiers are issued the right caliber for their mission. It is not that the 556 is not in stock. Turkish army operations are generally in the open field where range is more valuable than ammo count.

Why didn‘t they choose a M-LOK style handguard would have probably saved a little bit more weight.

 

[Zafer]

I often see videos of mods made on foreign army rifles. I wonder if Turkish soldiers can make mods on their rifles or do they have to go with factory configuration issued pieces.

It may also be possible to configure a whole rifle from different sources, technically speaking.

In order to use M-LOK design you have to get permission from Magpul and they have to ensure you are producing it on the needed standard and quality. M-LOK is a patented interface. Instead of M-LOK they used another modular design with screws which is again better than the standard picattiny. There is also the KeyMod interface but there is some info pointing at that it is not reliable enough.
