Exercise Glacier Arrowhead - Canadian Ranger Instructors

[cigar_man]

In preparation for Exercise Glacier Arrowhead this Winter, Canadian Ranger Instructors and Support Staff of 3 CRPG provided a Train-the-Trainer session to 20 Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) of the Artic Response Company Group (#ARCG) on the use of the C-19 Canadian Ranger service rifle. With the intent to pass along what they learned to the rest of the members of the ARCG at a later time.

The training included the safe use and maintenance of the rifle and a shooting range where all participants obtained their PWT-3 qualification.

Ex Glacier Arrowhead is planned to have more than 200 reservists from the 31 Canadian Brigade Group - 31e Groupe-Brigade Du Canada (Southwestern Ontario) deploy for a week to a remote location in the James Bay area in March 2024. The C-19 rifle will be used for predator control.

En préparation de l'exercice Glacier Arrowhead cet hiver, les instructeurs et le personnel de soutien des Rangers canadiens ont offert une séance de formation des formateurs à 20 sous-officiers (sous-officiers) du groupe de compagnies d'intervention dans l'Arctique (#GCIA) sur l'utilisation du C-19 Canadian fusil de service Ranger. Avec l’intention de transmettre ultérieurement ce qu’ils ont appris au reste des membres de l’ARCG.

La formation comprenait l'utilisation et l'entretien sécuritaires du fusil et un champ de tir réel où tous les participants ont obtenu leur qualification PWT-3.

L'Ex Glacier Arrowhead devrait déployer plus de 200 réservistes du 31e Groupe-brigade du Canada (sud-ouest de l'Ontario) pendant une semaine dans un endroit éloigné de la région de la Baie James en mars 2024. Le fusil C-19 sera utilisé pour lutter contre les prédateurs.

I've heard (Bloke on the range) that the Tikka has a wandering zero issue and that the front post adjustments are just sub optimal.

Subjectively, I'm simply repulsed by the look of the laminated stock. I have laminated stocks, but that thing is just butt ugly.

An ode to the Mosin, these are equally ugly and effective.

From what I can see these rifles aren’t equipped with a sling swivel and a sling , odd for a rifle that might need to be slung over a Rangers back with in a snow mobile

The 4th pic shows one with a sling.

Only one rifle with a sling out of at least a dozen rifles I can see with no sling swivels. Obviously these rifle came right from Colt Canada without sling swivels , plus a sling , even a web sling for a Lee Enfield would work great

80% of those rifles don’t have sling studs. We’ve also lost the art of using a sling on a rifle, especially with the advances of the newer sling systems.

Those targets haven't changed in 50 years..

Wonderful looking pictures. Thanks for sharing all that bolt action love. Joyful to see some fundamentals training with rifles in the CAF. Peace Be The Journey!

Cheers,

I'm confused, I though it was only the Canadian Rangers that used these rifles. These guys don't appear to be Rangers. Help me out, inquiring minds want to know. As for slings, I believe they do come with standard commercial Colt AR15 slings:

It's in the first paragraph, "In preparation for Exercise Glacier Arrowhead this Winter, Canadian Ranger Instructors and Support Staff of 3 CRPG provided a Train-the-Trainer session to 20 Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) of the Artic Response Company Group (#ARCG) on the use of the C-19 Canadian Ranger service rifle.

Yes, I have a younger friend training now who is in the Reserve Forces.

Opportunity of a lifetime for him.

Anyone tell me what if any is the benefit of that type of front sight? Looks like it's a sleeve pressed onto the barrel.

They have push button flush sling mounts

I've seen these and wondered how well they would hold, certainly more surface area than a sling stud screw. Kinda surprised there isn't a rear mount on the right, outside of the butt stock?

Thank you, I guess I missed that. It all makes sense now.
