    The purposed C7A3 is a IUR upper with a C7 FSB barrel.

    This upper cannot use the GI barrel nut - look into the receiver and see the thread.

    Gen 1.5/2 is what the danish bought which iirc started using the propietary cc barrel nut and wrench but still used the standard gas tube.

    Gen 3 or the cansofcom/sas started using a propietery gas block, straight gas tube, and some gucci coating on the barrel behind the gas block.

    Mrr has the mlok handguard vs the gen 3 iur which has the pic. Their barrels are lighter profiles. Otherwise they retain the other technical propietary parts of the gen 3 iur

    So it uses a proprietary barrel nut and wrench then? Is it the same tool needed at the SAS IUR?

    These uppers come with the barrel nut. Its the same nut that is found on the latest generation IUR's from Colt Canada.
    A standard barrel nut will not fit inside the IUR.

    For barrel installation you do require a tube style IUR wrench. A wrench was made for accessing through the side panels, but was never sufficient for achieving the required torque so it never made it to production.
    We are working with a local machine shop to produce a Quality Canadian Made wrench.
    More details on this shortly.

    In order to install a C8 style barrel, the front sight post will have to be removed to install the barrel. That's what we did with our build.

    Below is a picture of the items that come with the upper.

    Front post or FSB?

    I’m guessing it’s just like the IUR/MRR barrel install, so you’d have to remove the front sight/gas block entirely to slide the wrench over the barrel

    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
