So if they were being produced in 86, then it is unlikely that we were the first to be receiving them in 2VP with 87 dated serials. I'm sure they would have supplied Germany first.
Usually Manitoba is the last to receive any new kit. It seems to work it's way from the East, skip MB and go directly to Edmonton. When Edmonton can't figure out why it has so may spares, they then figure out they forgot about Manitoba.
BTW:
If you look under the receiver with the pistol grip removed, you will find a colt/CF serial number of some kind under there on the early ones. I think this was until 89, at which time I assume diemaco started making their own.
A decent C7 can shoot 1-2" groups without too much problem.I think there are more problems from the scope bases than the rifles....although at NSCC last summer i went through 2 C7'S that couldn't make anything less than a 10" group at 100m.Needless to say I was lucky that Navyshooter saved the day by lending me a good one.
If they tell you to scrape the crown on basic just do it.Those rifles are usually only for courses and nothing else.They are screwed before you get to 'em.
It does show how little some instructors know though.

don't worry some numpty will already have it buggered
Training rifles are generally not the ones you will take to your unit and as such will depending upon training establishment be either over cleaned, rarely cleaned or 3 rounds away from Beyond Ecenomic Repair. The worst thing is that they expect you to excell with these and the trg staff probably lose points for all the troops in training that cant make the grade. something is blamed and it wont be the kit, The trg ncos will have the rifles scrubbed shiny which does them no good. Typical really.shortandlong said:
1" is Avg for me at 100m with my Old C7A1 from mid 80's. My C7A2 I have now is from early 90's, They're not new, they are just referbished. Spending a week on a range doing small arms helped me alot with my groups.
After I removed the Accu Wedge in my C7a2 I had no problem removing the pins with nothing but my fingers and nails...
If I gotta clean out the muzzle I usually end up borrowing a C6 FH wrench and remove the C7 FH and clean it like that....
Now I only clean my gun once a week...Other then dust it off once a day...
WAH WAH....I went 2 years wearing the OLD OD green cardboard jacket and OD green combats and 3 years wearing webbing before I even seen Cadpat vest... I just got my TW vest 3 years ago. TW jacket, windpants and other TW gucci gear this year... Only reason cuz I was on task force, If it wasn't for that, I still be wearing my OD green gortex coat. We probley wont see C7A2 for another few years as well ( reserves)
You think they will give new gear to reserves units before the regforce got it....?

There was a descriptive phrase "Cord worn" which was used to describe where a pullthrough had worn the edge of a muzzle by repeated pulling through. The best way if equipped is to use a bore rod from the chamber end but I can remember not being allowed to use one, only the REME armourers were. The Armskote man would sometimes let you in to give your rifle a going over if he wasnt busy, he sometimes appreciated the help tidying up. All our new accom blocks built in the 80's had a central weapon cleaning room built where there was usually someone to ensure you didnt ahem bend too many rules.
There is however no substitute for practice and breating or in fact all the basic marksmanship principles work if practiced on a small bore range!

You can do that to a non Crome Lined barrel -- but on chrome lined barrels you dont want that.
Instead of have chrome up on the crown, with re crowning you will have raw steel and with backpressure from the flash hider, you will see errosion between the chrome and the steel on the crown.
This will lead to chrome flaking etc.
