Kalashnikov Concern reports that it has independently developed two new compact semi-automatic rifles based on the Chukavin SVCh ("СВЧ") sniper rifle: ▶️SVCh-1 ("СВЧ-1"), chambered in 7.62×54 mm. ▶️SVCh-2 ("СВЧ-2"), chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62×51 mm). The main differences from the standard SVCh are shorter barrels and several other changes incorporating feedback from military use of the original rifle. The company says both variants have successfully completed preliminary testing under the supervision of a prospective customer. It is ready to begin state trials at short notice and establish production for both Russian and foreign users. #info #gear #industry
