Sako, the Finnish company well known for bolt-action hunting rifles, is making a serious play for the military and law enforcement AR market.
The ARG comes in three flavors. The ARG 40 GP runs a short-stroke gas piston in 5.56x45mm NATO, designed for harsh environments where maintenance is a luxury.
The ARG 40 DI is the direct impingement variant in the same caliber, lighter and more streamlined for standard ops.
Then there's the ARG 50 GP, a semi-automatic 7.62x51mm NATO piston gun built as a designated marksman platform with a 16-inch barrel.
All three share cold-hammer forged, hard-chrome lined barrels and fully ambidextrous controls, including the safety selector, magazine release, and bolt catch. The upper receiver uses a monolithic-style construction, and the handguards are slim M-LOK units that fit over the piston system without adding bulk.
