The Sako ARG (lit. 'Arctic Rifle Generation') is a Finnish family of assault and battle rifles designed and manufactured by Sako.[1]
Background
[edit | edit source]Previously known as the K22 (Finnish: Kokeilu 22, lit. 'Experiment 22')[2], the ARG was designed alongside with the Finnish Defence Forces[3] and the Swedish Armed Forces[4]
Design
[edit | edit source]The ARG is based on the AR-10 and AR-15 design by Eugene Stoner[5] but features a proprietary short-stroke gas piston system,[6] similar to Heckler & Koch HK416 and other piston versions of AR-15-type assault rifles.
