I would be interested in parts also.
As it is very difficult for us dutchies to own a firearm, we do the next best thing and that is use an airsoft gun.
I know it isn't the real deal but if your not allowed to own one, you have to do something else.
@mitsou, what do you want to know about the length??
@r34skyline, the stock is made by CAA.
I do have some pics of my builds but due to me not having enough post, I can't upload or link them

Kind Regards Roy

I appreciate the info. Can you confirm the big vert grip is a b&t unit?
 
That isn't a C8 but a C7.
If you look closely at the pic, you see a small piece of the front rail on the left.

Regards Roy

I noticed on the pic with the C8 lying down with the grenade launcher that the lower has the S-R-3 markings for fire control under the (presumably newer) paint markings. Did CC initially do a run of 3 round burst lowers for the Dutch or was "3" the marking for "Auto" before?

From what i have been told was that the C7 and i mean the first series, used the Diemaco C7 lower with the new Colt Canada upper and the C8 came later and were brand new lower and upper from Colt Canada.
That is why the markings at the fire selector are different.
I could be and from the wear on it, it looks like it, this is one of the first C7 used by the Dutch army
 
Considering a lower from a C7 and a C8 could be switched back and forth... could be select fire or semi fire only (police options) and the only true difference is between the barrel and gas system lengths... its a minor issue.

Hell the C8 semi autos sold to police agencies are the same semi auto lowers sold to the public as SA15.7 or SA20 lowers.

Only difference in lowers is the fire selector options and what roll marks they stick on them.

If a lower came in 3 round burst... the option could equally apply to a C7 or C8...

Iirc the c7 is full auto in the dutch versions as well. As is the c8s.

And steel cap no they have a european supplier. I dont know if ivi supplies ammo to anyone outside of canada on a regular basis.
 
Both C7 and C8 are semi and full auto as is the one supplied to the KMAR in the Netherlands(that is the complete black one)
Ammo depends on where they can buy it cheap ;)
The Diemaco had a 3 round burst option and the later version had also the full auto option on them.
Mags being used are the Thermold mags and now they also use the Socom Lancer L5 mags.
@Steelcap...Rheinmetall is the supplier of the Dutch ammo for the C7 and C8 as it is for the HK416A5, Minimi and MAG machine gun.
