I just love how Colt Canada will sell to civilians in the USA but refuses to sell to civilians in Canada despite no legal impediment to doing so. Great business decision Colt! Think of all the domestic revenue you are potentially missing.
IF the AR15 becomes prohibited or banned in the USA, or even if new sales are banned, maybe Colt will re-think that position as they search for new markets. One can only hope.

What? Colt Canada is prohibited from marketing to the public. Basically, anything Diemaco/Colt Canada that anyone owns is stolen goods. The receivers in the original post are Colt receivers, not Colt Canada receivers.

In a Dictatorship - civilians re not allowed to own firearms. In a Democracy - civilians are allowed to own that crappy versions of firearms. And in a Democracy, criminals, like the government - have the better guns.
Also, just for fun, here's the tenth C7 ever made. The first runs of C7s were made at the Colt plant in Connecticut, it seems. This one has been upgraded to a C7A1 and later into a C7A2. The "Canadian Forces Canadiennes" markings are sharper and smaller than the ones made in the Kitchener plant.

They are Diemaco/Colt Canada receivers, made in Canada under contract to Colt Defense to fullfil an order from the Pennsylvania Police. They are 6520 lowers from guns sold as surpls from the PSS after they retired the guns from service.
Colt Canada did not sell them to the US public. They supplied them to Colt Defense who sold them to the PSS who then sold them as surplus after use.
Diemaco stamped product routinely are used in Colt Defense builds and it is not always "stolen" if someone has Diemaco or Colt Canada stuff in Canada. There are US sources.
Not true at all. LOTS of American Colt AR's have diemaco components.

the machine that makes the barrels is owned by the canadian goverment. the barrels will never be released to the public. the barrel making machine is a national asset.
That's exactly what I meant, those aren't Colt Canada stamped receivers for government agencies or the public, they were made for Colt in the states.
I was talking about receivers like in the original post, sorry if I didn't specify. I'd be curious to know if and how someone got a real Diemaco or Colt Canada stamped lower, for example. You'll never see one in the hands of civilians because Colt Canada will not sell outside of government agencies.
