It strongly resembles and may indeed be, but I find it hard to
believe someone would take the effort to change every corner of a
very good rifle.
I'm still analyzing the photo. Among the differences I've found
are the distance between magazine and trigger, fastening pins on
top vs below rifle.
This rifle takes a number of steps backwards:
-I'm quite sure the charging handle is one-sided. Since this
rifle has a carrying handle, why don't they put it under the handle
so it can be ambi?
-Look at the pistol grip in the first pic. Do you find it odd
the grippable portion ends below the trigger? At the same "height"
as the trigger, it becomes very fat. Would it be hard to squeeze
the trigger?
