    perhaps your thinking of a us m16a3/a4?

    kind of an m4a1 m16a4 homage IMO

    I did say homage, not a copy. But the CAF has in fact used the KAC M5... I know... I've held and used it... (Not me pictured)





    Also the rear sight reminds me of a Diemaco rear.


    Only major difference is the optic (and receivers of course but I digress). Even has the longer pencil barrel.
    So yeah, C7 homage.

    Interesting, I've never seen the M5 on any issued CAF rifle, then again I'm post Afghan era, so my experience is somewhat limited

    Another difference is the butt stock, is not the Canadian style CAR 15 stock. It is the distinct m4 style one.

    The aimpoint optic is also a staple of the US Military.

    The elements are there but the similarities are much more akin to American service weapons over Canadian ones

    This rifle is definitely intended as an homage to a US M4A1/M16A4 rather than a Canadian C7/C8, though all of these firearms are obviously part of the same general family.

    It's about as close as we can get to the real thing these days in Canada, with the added benefit of being non-restricted. I've learned my lesson on purchasing restricted firearms after the May 2020 OIC.
