Historical profile
Developed by S&T Motiv to modernize the K2 with an integral Picatinny rail system allowing direct mounting of optics, night sights, lasers and grips.
Adopted in 2016 by the ROK Army; the initial rollout had handguard overheating issues (later resolved with improved handguards).
Retains the K2's fire control group and action; the barrel and mechanism are unchanged, with changes focused on interface and ergonomics.
