@DBigXray: Reviewing now -

  • The book sources are all deadlinks - I will AGF on this, but might want to at least fix the URL so that it leads to Google Books correctly.
  • Maybe move the references 1, 2 and 3 outside from the lead section? The information in there seems to be contained in the other sources anyway.

Otherwise, the other criteria seems clear. Juxlos (talk) 10:48, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

@Juxlos: The book sources were taken from sources on the INSAS rifle. I'll fix them. Unless DBigXray beats me to it. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:54, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I'm sorry for not having got down to this. I found the book on Google Books but I'm unable to get the page required. So looking at other options. @DBigXray:, do you have any leads? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:19, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
  • @Juxlos: Based on your suggestions, I have fixed the dead links and moved the refs out of lead. DBigXray 11:01, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Changes noted - the ALTs are just alright (ALT2 is best worded probably) but good to go! Juxlos (talk) 12:57, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
