Diemaco C8/SA157 almost gone

When did colt Canada say they weren't making anymore???

When they first released the rifle, and then repeatedly since then. 500 of each, 10 of each retained by Colt Canada for their own corporate collection. So 490 sa15 and sa20 complete rifles released with the laser roll mark. Hence why it says "Limited Edition" on all of their website marketing.

The stripped lowers and complete lowers being sold are registered as sa15 rifles, but have no laser model name marking. Colt Canada is no longer producing rifles with the fixed front sight and have converted their production completely to IUR style rifles, of which there are multiple IUR variations depending on purchaser requests.

I hope they will make something other than the IUR, some may dig it but im not a fan

Their whole production line is now geared to IUR variations. Don't hold your breath for something else.

It would be nice if colt Canada had a better webpage or product line up so people knew what was coming or in the works.

Why?
Public sale are less than 5% of their business and was 0% 1 year ago.
most of their new product are classified until released or their picture makes it on the web.
We should just be happy that we get the crusts

Even if they just made a bone stock AR that would be awesome and i wouldnt imagine it costing a whole lot but i guess ill just have to keep shopping elsewhere

They sell overages to the public. They don't plan civilian releases. When they have surplus, they sell.

They make rifles for military and police contracts. To the specs designated by those purchasers. We get the excess. We aren't the target market.

I have been curious about the correct model Eotech.. this is what our boys (and girls) are deployed with on their C8A3's?

Model 552 is correct.

 

[Chemist]

Yes they are.

 

[Canbill]

I think I just bought the last one. Thank god I didn't waffle any longer.

 

[Chemist]

I just added one more. I'm assuming the person from the US that tried to purchase one didn't know we were in Canada.

Anytime! If you're interested...some EXPS-3s have also been making their way in, mainly for CANSOFCOM use...they are shorter and can be paired with the Aimpoint magnifier the CF saw fit to purchase, in a LaRue pivot mount (http://www.casr.ca/doc-npp-cansofcom-mount.htm)

These seem to be in use on C8 CQBs (http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/..._put_on_rare_display_of_fighting_talents.html), but I would bet that some with the magnifier found their way onto A3s...makes sense with the longer barrel.
