At last a lighter SAR21 with ONE P rail and no more silly laser sight !
SAR21A looks like a much improved model , but it is still under development. But we hope that they can make it even better than what they have showcased now & get it out to our troopers as a standard infantry weapon as soon as possible.
Personally I wud like to see one more P rail at 6 o'clock and shooting hand firing controls for safe/semi/auto.
They shud also have a better integrated underbarrel AGL 40 for SAR21 so that there will be no need to use M16 M203s which use different mags from SAR21.
Also, lets hope that the 12 oclock P rail mounted Sight will be of higher standard with a self illuminated ( no batteries please ) night firing sight. I wud like to see 3 X magnification.

closer pic, courtersy of lionnoisy's thread, looks like the fire selector is thumb operatable, cocking handle also now at the side. camoflauged too
I suppose that fire selector & cocking handle can also be installed on the RHS so that SAR21A will be no problem for left handed firers.
Lets hope SAR21A with all the improvements & more becomes standard issue in the near future.
