    Description

    Vintage Advertising Poster for the SR88A 5.56 Assault Rifle made by Chartered Industries of Singapore.
    In 1990, an improved version was introduced and this took on the designation of SR-88A. A new handguard was introduced as was a new fiberglass /nylon tubular-skeletal fixed shoulder stock fitting. Quality was once again improved for the rigors of military abuse. The receiver was manufactured of cast aluminum while the chambering remained 5.56x45mm NATO. Chrome plating was retained along the gas system operation. Luminous night sights were added as was an optical mount. Support for the fitting of the 40mm M203 remained. There was an optional folding shoulder stock as well and this unit was adjustable ad removable, the latter for a more compact approach (29.37 inches from its 38 inch length). The SR-88A remained in production up until 2000.
    CIS also introduced a 8.16lb carbine form of their new SR-88A which essentially was the full-size weapon with a shorter barrel, shortened handguard and collapsible shoulder stock. Overall, however, the features inherent in the SR-88A remained in check. With its compact qualities, the SR-88A Carbine was issued to paratrooper forces and the like - those units appreciating a more compact weapon.
    Beyond the Singaporean Armed Forces, the SR-88 was eventually fielded only by the Slovenian Army.
