Rifle in Egypt

[guess_kto]

Spotted a rifle in the news about Egypt (they started anti-isis operation few days ago). Wth is that?

 

[WhackQuacks]

Beretta ARX 160

 

[guess_kto]

Wouldn't it be NR?

 

[WhackQuacks]

I believe the .22lr version is NR. The others are prohib as easily converted to FA.

Going off memory, I could be wrong.

 

[bfiles]

It's a prohib.

22lr versions are non/restricted depending on barrel length

The "Tactical Tuna" in the wild! And chambered in 7.62x39mm no less...

IIRC the design uses a modular drop-in trigger pack, so going from FA to semi is really simple if you have the right module.

Christ what an ugly gun. I wish the Italians had chose something more aesthetic and durable, that plastic looks awfully cheap. When I was in Italy last summer all the military guards around the main tourist attractions had these with backup irons and an aimpoint mounted on top. The stock looks really cheap as well.

These guns have proven to be very reliable and robust. Ugly sometimes is that way, ie: AK47, Glock, etc.

I always thought that it looks like an SKS with one of the new tactical stocks on it!!!! LOL

Very correct. The Beretta ARX160 while ugly and cheap looking is a fully developed rifle system that has done some tours in Afghanistan and the sand box. Other armies are also purchasing it for their units as well. I would happily own the semi version if I could here. The .308 model looks interesting as well.

With the curvature of the magazine in the photo it looks to be a 7.62x39 version. I was unaware anybody has purchased that version.

I will take function over beauty any day of the week. Probably why I like the Tavor platform so much.

Agreed. Lol. Practicality and reliability is beautiful, even if the shape isn't. Over time, it becomes beautiful to the eye, but it has to earn it.

Sometimes it is the utilitarian lines that make it reliable. Function over form when it comes to guns. Other things - maybe not so much.

I'll take that as a good description of my Glock

Barrel length doesn't matter on a rimfire rifle, only OAL.

After I read this thread I fired a email off to Stoeger Canada today. I enquired if Beretta was going to modify and resubmit the Beretta ARX100 and try for a reclassification. The answer was no. Rather unfortunate answer as I was more then willing to poney up some money for one.

I find all of Beretta's new rifles and pistols hideous. They should stick to shotguns and 92's.

Yeah I was also ultra-disappointed that I won't ever get one.

 

[Rust]

Why does he only have Magpul back up sights and no optic?
It's like they ran out of money or something.

 

[Auggie Doggie]

Probably not loaded either.
