School on top of the other two, holy.

Not much time either.

Thanks Mike. I am aware they are authentic C8's. The original style we received in the 1980's. Back then I owned a Colt A2 rifle and carried a Sterling Patchet 9mm SMG or an FN C1 or FN C2. Later the original C7. I didn't pay much attention to the C8 as our unit didn't have them and the few I seen I wasn't able to handle or shoot. What I did remember is asking those with them what they thought and as I remember they thought they were unreliable. Fast forward to the 2010's and I was issued the much newer C8A3 Flattop with EoTech 552 and dragged it around the sandbox. By this time the original C8 were retired. So my limited experience and lack of knowledge with the original C8 is why I asked the questions.
Thanks derrob7. How are you and the folks here finding the reliability first hand with your purchases?

I've taken TWO to the range, and both worked flawlessly. Got them both heated up nicely. Wasn't outdoors, so I can't comment to accuracy. The last batch that SFRC offered, were at a lower price, and the one I bought in that lot, looked to have a new BCG and CH.

Neither the c7a2 or c8a3 has the m4 feed ramps.
The guns are tailored to run c77 ammo. Feed ramps aid with a wider variety of ammunition. Not a problem when the work gun is designed to work with one specific ammo with some minor variations.

Even then, as long as the feed ramps are smooth and it's not a M4 upper with a non-M4 barrel (making that gap to catch bullet tips) then you're generally good to go.
