The CS/LR17 and CS/LR18 Modular Automatic Rifle () represent an advanced series of modular firearms developed by Norinco and distributed through Jianshe Industry Group.
History
Unveiled initially in November 2016, the CS/LR17 lineup launched with versions chambered in 5.56×45mm and 7.62×51mm calibers, designated as NAR-556 and NAR-751 respectively. Targeted mainly at international markets, this rifle family is positioned to rival models such as the AK-12, Galil ACE, HK416, HK417, and FN SCAR. A substantially updated iteration was presented during the 2018 Zhuhai Airshow.
Design
The CS/LR17/LR18 platform's development commenced in 2014, taking significant cues from the FN SCAR design philosophy. Additionally, a yet unnamed under-barrel grenade launcher (UBGL) is being engineered to enhance the system’s capabilities.
This firearm series accommodates three different calibers—5.56×45mm, 7.62×39mm, and 7.62×51mm—to address a broad spectrum of operational requirements.
