I don't know why everyone is sh!tting on Colt Canada. They aren't the problem it's Korth. These were suppose to come out at a price point similar to Daniel Defence. They were suppose to be in the $1500-$1700 price range.

The only thing left to do is buy a Colt from IRG.

At least you got a reply from Colt Canada. I e-mailed them as well, and I got nothing from them. That sucks though, waiting in anticipation for a year only to get this crappy news. I’m glad I didn’t wait to jump on one of the IRG deals. Now I just need to track down a 20” upper. For the record, I don't give a $hit about the furniture, green or black, as I probably would have dropped it anyways. I was just hoping for a quality AR built to spec as the work rifle (minus the fun switch which I never use anyway) so I, but there are more affordable rifles available (Colt USA, DD, etc).


June 1st, 2014 - Colt Canada Setting Stage To Sell Commercial C7 Rifles and C8 Carbines To Canadian Public

Colt Canada’s small arms are well known to members of the Canadian Forces.

But now the company, based in Kitchener, Ont., soon hopes that commercial versions of some of its firearms will interest Canadian sport shooters.

The company has plans – if all goes well – to introduce sometime this summer two types of firearms to the Canadian commercial market.

One rifle will be a commercial version of the C7A2 and will have a 20 inch barrel, Matt Kirkpatrick, commercial sales co-ordinator for Colt Canada, told Defence Watch at the CANSEC 2014 military and security trade show.

The other will be a commercial version of the C8A3 carbine and will have a 15.8 inch barrel.

The guns will be semi-automatic and will be considered restricted firearms under Canadian law.

Sample rifles were submitted to the RCMP for examination and approval and a FRT has been approved. Colt Canada, however, is still waiting on various approvals and licenses from the U.S. government.
The rifles would be made to the same specifications as those provided to the Canadian Forces. But instead of 37 test rounds being fired through each military rifle, 17 will be fired through the commercial versions, said Kirkpatrick.

The production run on the guns will be in lots of 1,000 rifles. They will be marked as Diemaco rifles.
And what will the cost be?

“We’ve got an idea but we’re not there yet,” Kirkpatrick (photo below) told Defence Watch.

He is hoping to have the guns on the market sometime this summer.

The company expects a market for the product as many police officers and military personnel have inquired about acquiring their own versions of Colt products for sport shooting and practice.

Colt Canada, if it was your intention was to market a product to police officers and military personnel who have inquired about acquiring their own versions of Colt products for sport shooting and practice, we thank you for your effort, however you have misplaced your trust in the Korth Group for price gouging as they are the only show in town for your products. Your plans to market your rifles to us have backfired and your products will end up in the hands of military collectors, not the lowly reserve privates that make $45 a parade night. Thank you, and sorry it didn’t work out.
 
This thread has become a train wreck.
The amount of ignorance and misinformation in this thread is remarkable.
Watch for factual announcements.
