Historical profile

Developed in the early 2010s by Jianshe to give PLA and People's Armed Police special forces a NATO-caliber precision rifle compatible with commercial match ammunition.

Adopted around 2012 under the internal designation QBU-141, it is used by platoon-level marksmen and in counter-terrorism operations requiring 7.62 NATO ammunition.

Exported in a commercial version and seen in service with security forces in Africa and Central Asia; often paired with Chinese 3-12× optics.
