CIL Firearms Listing and Discussion (Canadian Industries Limited)

Question on the 470's
Where is the venting if they have it ?
Mine is an Anschutz marked receiver with proofmark and has the shell deflector
But the barrel is CIL marked with just the Anschutz proofmark
Is this the same as those already on your list ?
 
CIL was only a distributor / importer they never manufactured a single firearm
Mostly low end quality except for a few renamed anzultz rim fires cil 171 was a Brazilian made 22 Remington also re labelled it and sold it
Many still out there
 
I wouldn't say mostly low quality at all. They sold some nice Franchi shotguns, I wouldn't call PH rifles low quality, nor the Savage semis.

Hi Folks,
I've started to try and gather up all the CIL info that I can find from various locations in order to compile and publish a comprehensive list on CGN. It's probably because I don't have a real life <G>! Actually, I've always loved them. They were the first firearms that I owned as a kid and I still have them.
I know that my current draft is just that ... a draft, but if anyone wants to contribute info, I'll happily try to update it and keep it current. Please PM me for my email address if you need to send pics or other larger files.
Thanks!

Grate compilation love it , thanks
 
CIL 972 is a commercial Mauser action , I noticed that some members complained previously about feeding issues with CIL and Parker Hale Clip fed rifles. Any users can confirm that? How do these rifles compare to Zastava LKM 70 rifles?

Yours is a Model 310 with Match 64 action as near as I can tell. Great little rifles! Here's a pic of the actions that I know about for these rifles. I'll post some trigger info soon.

Dear OldCERA, I have a c.i.l. mark 180, serial number 848406. It have a white spacer at the butt plate and a track, under the forearm, who is 3,25 inches too long (83 mm) . This rifle is born between 1968 and 1972, not for sure. Could you tell me a bit more about this beauty. Thanks a lot!
 
I have a friend with a 972C Parker-Hale in .243 win. He's looking for a magazine for it. Any idea where he might get one?

Just acquired a CIL 233 semi auto 22.
It has the original 5 round magazine and mounted with a vintage Gevarm 3/4 inch scope.
Will give it a good cleaning and test fire as I don’t think anyone has used it since the 1970,s.
Google foo tells me it’s a Savage 85N.
It has some interesting features such as a tang safety and a case deflection tab.
Neat bit of history for sure.

Cheers! I really like my 233. I've had to weld the magazines back together and tighten the forward screw on the trigger assembly every now and then but it has gotten a lot of grouse and gophers for me! Your shells ever get pinched by the bolt after firing instead of coming out? I oiled my extractors but still get it sometimes.
