The IAR (Infantry Automatic Rifle) is a rifle, that can handle a sustained fire role when required. It fires closed bolt semi auto. on switching to auto, it will fire the first round closed bolt and everything subsequent in open bolt to allow the rifle to cool more effeciently between strings of fire and to prevent cook offs. Turning the selector back to Semi sends the bolt home, and chambers a round but does not fire it until you pull the trigger.
It has a radial finned heavy hammer forged 4150 CMV barrel and is Hard Chrome lined. The chamber is slightly different for added reliability and barrel life.
Nov. 21 the IAR will be featured on Future Weapons.

Here are some pics of the Limited Run Initial Prototypes of the SABR (sniper assaulter battle rifle). LRIPS are always produced prior to full production so you can determine costs, work out production bugs, work out any bugs with production rifles, and determine if you can replicate repeatable results when it comes to accuracy, reliability. A proper LRIP cannot be hand fit. You must adjust your MFG process until the rifle meets the product requirement with parts off the line. One of the ways the government determines this is to buy some LRIPS, take them apart, mix up the parts and build the guns back up and test them.
The SABR receiver uses a L side non-reciprocating charging handle AKA the Israeli FAL. The Israeli Fal charging handle is a forward assist. you pull the charging handle back on the stuck carrier, press in the handle and push it forward.
For those that don't need a forward assist, a standard cocking handle will work also, and has a smaller knob than the Israeli.
The point of this was that you do not have to come up off the gun to cycle it. With the gas in the off position, you can run it like a straight pull rifle with subsonic ammunition and suppressor in place.

. Thanks for posting these photos, it's nice to have the insight into what goes into building rifles, it obviously isn't easy, having to have tolerances tight enough for accuracy, but with enough play for interchangeability and manufacturing systems flexible enough to react to changes midway. With the costs involved it's a wonder any of us get firearms, thanks again.
