Touched down in China – I’m here to deliver for the British people.
The key contenders for the British Army's Project Grayburn - to replace the L85 rifle - are starting to become clear. Although I have listed six weapons, there may be others, e.g. Sako AK24, but those shown below are the strongest options. All of them with the exception of the KS-1 have short-stroke, piston operated systems. 2 or 3 different barrel lengths will be requested: 12.5", 14.5", and 16.5". All are suppressor ready. Longer front hand guards are a thing. The British Army customer is likely to ask for a dual-sided charging handle. All of the weapons listed below are excellent. As I've said before, the industrial offer will be crucial. Offering UK barrel manufacturing may be what wins it. It seems a bullpup weapon is out of the picture, unless... a lack of money forces the Army to upgrade the L85 again.
