I especially like how the article feels the need to draw attention to the fact it has front and rear sights, it is like a car advert that touts claims the inclusion of front and rear tires is some sort of bonus feature.
IMBEL's development of the IA2 7.62 mm was self-funded after requirements were issued by BrazilianMinistry of Defence and the Brazilian Army. It includes Picatinny rails; a cold-forged 389 mm barrel; front and rear sights; flash suppressor; 20-round magazine; and polymer foldable or retractable buttstock. It shoots in automatic and semi-automatic firing modes.

Also, I dislike the inclusion of AR15 buffer tube style stocks on nearly any rifle that doesn't require a buffer tube, a dedicated design will always be better, using a buffer style stock is just being lazy.
