The Joint Stock Company Rosoboronexport (part
of Rostec State Corporation) has launched a global marketing campaign for a
wide range of Russian-made tuning parts for civilian and service small arms.
"JSC Rosoboronexport’s export catalog
includes a full range of tuning parts that can significantly improve the ergonomics,
accuracy, reliability and functionality of small arms. For the most of Russian
weapon models, more than 10 configurations are available to meet the specific
tasks of the customers, among which may be the special units of various law
enforcement agencies, private security companies, athletes and hunters”, stated
Alexander Mikheev, Director General of JSC Rosoboronexport. "The products we offer have received a
positive feedback from the specialists of the National Guard, the Ministry of
Defence and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia."
Among the products offered by the company are
muzzle brakes, muzzle devices, forearms, bipods and grips, brackets and
receiver covers with Picatinny rails, pistol grips, butts, magazines. For the
convenience of their installation, Russian companies have developed adapters,
clamps and specialised tools. Their production is located in Russia and does
not depend on supplies from abroad. Among the manufacturers whose products JSC
Rosoboronexport offers in the foreign market are the Kalashnikov Group (part of
Rostec State Corporation), as well as PUFGUN, Zenitka and Rotor-43 companies.
Tuning of legacy small arms enables the
installation of all the modern optical devices on them to improve visibility in
conditions of limited visibility or long distances. Russian manufacturers
develop and manufacture a full range of optical devices, including red dot
sights, daytime sights, shooting glasses, monoculars, night vision scope
attachments, thermal imagers, thermal imaging attachments and other types of
optics. JSC Rosoboronexport has successful experience in promoting optics
manufactured by Shvabe (a Rostec State Corporation subsidiary), Infratech and
Dedal in the global market.
JSC Rosoboronexport offers various tactical devices
to customise a firearm to the individual shooter: flashlights, laser
designators and remote control buttons. Designed for aiming using night vision
devices and illuminating space at night or in places where there is no source
of light, they significantly improve fire readiness. The ergonomics and
effectiveness of the weapon are also significantly enhanced by additional
features such as fire selectors, safeties and operating handles.
The design of all the tuning parts has been
developed in close cooperation with weapon operators, taking into account their
use in real conditions. A number of them were modernised by manufacturers with
regard to feedback directly from the battlefield and best meet modern
requirements for ergonomics, performance and operational characteristics.
