The M89SR sniper rifle is a gas operated semi-automatic sniper rifle produced by Technical Consultants International (TCI).
[1] The M89SR was first introduced as the Sardius M36 Sniper Weapon System (SWS) in the 1980s.
[3] It was intended to replace the M14, though Sardius were unable to secure financing.
When Sardius went out of business, Technical Consulting International (TCI) obtained the licence to produce the M36.
They made some adjustments, such as adding a new carbon fiber stock, and it was renamed the M89SR (Model 89 Sniper Rifle).
