[edit] Move?

The title "Rifle 7.62mm 2A1" seems too technical, given that "Ishapore 2A" and "Ishapore 2A1" are clearly the common-usage names for this rifle. We don't, for example, title the M14 rifle article as "United States Rifle, Caliber 7.62mm, M14", though that is the technically correct US military designation. It's normally just called "M14", so that's what the article is titled (with "rifle" added for disambiguation purposes). Thus, I'd recommend moving this article to either Ishapore 2A or Ishapore 2A1. — Red XIV (talk) 05:54, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree with you; I'd suggest Ishapore 2A1 rifle as the 2A variant is not commonly encountered. --Commander Zulu 08:45, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
