After years of being peddled at every major military exhibition under the sun, SR-3M finally found itself an export customer:

No information on scope of the order or destination

   Would be funny if it is Syria bying for their selected security units.

   Safety on the side like AK, but fire mode selector is behind the trigger itself. 1 white dot means semi-auto.

   3 white dots - burst.

   2 springs, upper for BCG, lower - for striker. Small red rubber thingy on rear part is to contain gases inside of the gun.

   Vladimir Onokoy posted better photos of Kalashnikov concern new guns. Updated PPK-20, AK-12 SP and AK-12K SP (unofficial designations for both AK-12 versions) for SFs.

   AK-12 SP for SF units. Lower handguard was left without change to accomodate UBGLs, upper one was changed to better hold laser sights (like PEQs or Zenit's Perst).

   Other changes - new stock, new ambi fire/safety selector and other small stuff.

   Max about it:

Quote

   Gas-operator, short stroke piston, three-lugs bolt, polymer receiver with a steel frame, plastic trigger housing.
   Adjustable stock, folding to the right. Convenient two-side selector. Was not able to shoot it, but it is exceptionally pleasant in the hands.

FN MINIMI 7,62®Mk3 is the winner of the Norwegian light weight machine gun (LWMG) contract: https://www.fma.no/aktuelt-og-media/2020/signering-av-kontrakt-pa-nye-maskingevaer

 

If we end up purchasing 4000 Maximis, it will become the most numerous MG by far since we only acquired around 1900 of the 5.56 version and maybe around a thousand or so FN MAG. The latter is supposed to be kept as a mounted MG on vehicles and ships, but I’m somwhat unsure about if or how this purchase will affect the distribution of the 5.56 Minimis. If the organization with fire support squads and more mobile maneuver squads is kept, then I can imagine that there will probably be Maximis in the former and that the latter will keep their Minimis.

 

In any case it seems this is the end for the MG3 in the Norwegian Armed Forces, although it’s possible that they’ll place some of the less worn out ones in storages like they’ve finally started doing with the AG3s (unfortunately too late to save most of them from being turned into scrap metal though...).
