Chartered Industries of Singapore SAR 80
In the late 1970s Singaporean arms manufacturer Chartered Industries of Singapore (later known as ST Kinetics) sought a rifle to produce for domestic and export sale, they partnered with the UK's Sterling Armaments to produce an AR-18-inspired rifle, the SAR 80.
Chambered in 5.56x45mm the SAR-80 can be described as a clone of the Armalite AR-18 with the two rifles’ internal designs almost identical. The SAR-80 is gas-operated, with a short-stroke gas piston and a rotating bolt. While extremely similar the SAR 80 has a few interesting features, check out the video below:
