ISHAPORE 2A1 .308 WIN
Description: Guns Listing ID: 528834 The Rifle 7.62mm 2A/2A1(also known as the Ishapore 2A/2A1[2]) is a 7.62×51mm NATO calibre bolt-action rifle adopted as a reserve arm by the Indian Armed Forces in 1963. The rifle is a variant of the Lee–Enfield rifle. The design of the rifle – initially the Rifle 7.62mm 2A – began at the Rifle Factory Ishapore of the Ordnance Factories Board in India, soon after the Sino-Indian War of 1962. The Ishapore 2A/2A1 has the distinction of being the last bolt-action rifle designed to be used by a regular military force other than specialized sniper rifles. While it is no longer in service with the Indian military, the rifle is still used by the Indian police. The 2A was widely used by the Indian Army after the Sino-Indian War in 1962, despite the use of the SLR after 1965.[4] 2A rifles were previously supplied to Bangladesh during the Bangladesh Liberation War. The weapon was produced at a rate between 22,000 and 115,000 rifles annually, averaging 70,000 a year. Around 250,000 rifles were made in total[6] before production ended in 1974.
