Colt Canada rifles to the public?

[Rebel Rouser]

Made an error...there will likely be green but not right now

They have to get approval from the CF to put the green furniture on. CF has the rights to average Canadian green.

All the lowers are the same maple leaf with 5.56mm below it. SA20/SA15.7 laser etched above maple leaf. Diemaco markings above trigger.

I stand corrected. And happily so. That's how I'd want mine.

Silly question, will the rear portion of the rail be stepped down at the charging handle, under where the sight folds down? Not flush with the top of the rail?

I want a 14.5 barrelled version. Bad.

 

[Boltgun]

They are same guns as they usually make or have made in the past. So yes most likely but I cannot recall

[Stevo]

Meh. JAFAR.

Granted it does have some collector and "home-grown" appeal.

 

[Boltgun]

14.5 will be nice...so will all the IUR lengths...but this is a start

Ask Matt. I know they have 1913 rail uppers on them. The camber for the C8A3 has been redesigned and has M4 feed ramps to except 45g-77g ammo.

Original C-7 with A1 sights here please. Then I can retire the AR15A2 trying to impersonate a C-7. Probably won't happen in the present collapsible stock/optic sight era though.

 

[optimuskikz]

C-7 double- double for me pls!

No TRIAD or green furniture is kind of disappointing. The whole point, for me, in getting one of these is to have something as genuine to the real thing as possible.

 

[Recce21]

I would pay whatever they ask honestly. Unless it comes with black furniture in a2 config. That would be stupid. And why no friggin trirail??.

 

[A'garton]

Last time I looked the unit cost for a C7 with an Elcan was under $3k.

Maybe. The last time I've dealt with the CFSS it was saying that C7 costs $3K and C6 costs $6K a piece but it was a long time ago.

I wonder if these will be sold direct from Colt Canada or through the retail stores?

A retailer.

1. Because the Tri rail is junk and most people don't want to pay $200 for something that never should have been put on the rifle in the first place.
2. Because you can buy one for $200 so people at the range can ask why you have not taken it off and put it in your pack yet.

Seen pics, I want.

Priceless

3. Because that damn thing being clamped over the barrel the way it is almost seems to actively absorb water into it's crevices and cause rust
4. because anyone who's been in long enough to realize you don't really have a use for it, and once the cool factor has worn off, take it off as soon as they find out they're allowed

hell i've even taken off the cadex grip, and if i weren't too lazy to pry out the heat shield i'd have pulled the rail off as well.

 

[Mister Donut]

Haha, I noticed that at the Blair shoot. Most guys took the Tri-rail off and no one was running the Cadex foregrip....but maybe that was just for competition shooting?

A retailer.

Hopefully a good retailer...
