SIG 516, quiet interesting the variety of AR varients let alone small arms in general in Turkish LE units.

SIG 516, quiet interesting the variety of AR varients let alone small arms in general in Turkish LE units.

For the Turkish Police, they are using Sarsılmaz made M4/M4A1 clones, SIG 516, HK417A2 and LMT MWS 308 as designated marksman rifle. But the bulk of their AR-15 in service consisting of SIG 516 rifles. Turkish Police has bought around 20.000 of them btw 2012-2018.

However local carbine models are also stated to issued by different units among the Police like MKEK MPT-55 & MPT-55K and also Sarsılmaz SAR 223T as you can see on the previous pics. According to last news Turkish Police has bought 2.000 of SAR 223T rifles and it looks like they replace all the foreign models with these for the ongoing years. Since getting local carbines is become cheaper than importing new barrels from SIG for the 516 rifles in money wise.

That makes a lot of sense in regards to both cost and commonality. It also removes the reliance on foreign supply and support especially given some of the historical export issues with some of the European small arms manufacturers.

Overwhelming force or justified? This looks like a military raid.
