The company introduced the ARG family on Aug. 25 featuring the 5.56×45 ARG 40 GP and ARG 40 DI plus the 7.62×51 ARG 50 GP designated marksman variant. Buyers can choose a short-stroke gas piston system for harsh conditions or a direct-impingement option focused on lower weight and refined accuracy. The platform offers fully ambidextrous controls, AR-15 component interoperability, and Picatinny/M-LOK interfaces to support mission-specific configurations. SAKO says the rifles underwent rigorous environmental trials, including NATO D14 testing as well as arctic, mud, and sand evaluations. The rollout includes an accessory and lifecycle package covering optics, night and thermal systems, training, spares, and modernization, while no procurement awards were reported.
