History

The system was first publicly shown in November 2016 with the 5.56×45mm and 7.62×51mm versions (NAR-556 and 751) first shown.[2] The CS/LR17 series is meant to be marketed to the export market.[3] Their main competitors consist of the AK-12, Galil ACE, HK416/417 and FN SCAR series.[1]

A heavily redesigned variant was shown at the 2018 Zhuhai Airshow.[4][5]

Design

Development of the CS/LR17/LR18 system first started back in 2014, basing their design on the FN SCAR series.[2] An unnamed UBGL is in development to complement it.[2]

The system consists of three calibers: 5.56×45mm, 7.62×39mm and 7.62×51mm.[6]
