POTD: Sako ARG (Arctic Rifle Generation) With Silent Steel Suppressors
The Sako ARG (Arctic Rifle Generation) is purpose-built for military and law enforcement in extreme environments, from Arctic tundras to dusty deserts. Collaborating with Swedish and Finnish forces, it's based on the AR-15 with upgrades for Arctic reliability, tested to NATO D14 standards. Here shown with the Silent Steel Suppressors, this is a collection of images worthy of TFB's Photo Of The Day.
Offering dual systems (short-stroke gas piston for minimal maintenance in harsh conditions, and direct impingement for lighter accuracy), the ARG features ambidextrous controls for seamless use. Its cold-hammer forged barrel ensures precision and longevity.
AR-compatible components simplify upkeep, while Picatinny, M-LOK mounts support lasers, night vision, and more. Life-cycle management includes spares, upgrades, and partner-supplied accessories like optics and ammo.
By the looks of it, some of the suppressors seem to be running the Silent Steel Safe-Guard.
Exclusive to defense sectors, the ARG integrates with allied systems, prioritizing mission-critical performance.
The collection, with all three Sako Arctic Rifle Generation (ARG), is a new trio of rifles built to give troops an edge in Arctic warfare.

C’mon man. Don’t tease a cool rifle then tell us we can’t buy it.
That new Steiner laser sure is sexy, but even more expensive than the MAWL.
