Thanks Grumpy! for the time being, I got my name on one in a rack still, but I'm within a couple of years of bailing out. It'd be nice to have one of these and an Elcan on the top of it when I release... ;)
 
Hmmmm, if I remember right. My C7 had a fun switch which appears to be missing. However It never got used very much so this is just as good.
 
Wish I had the cash, and yes I do remember my C7. Before they started coming out with optics for the troops. I can almost remember my rifle number. Only if I had the cash.
 
On the Colt Canada website, they list a model called the C7A2 with a 14.5" barrel and the tri-mount picatinny barrel thing. Will this model be released down the line, or are these the only models that are available?
 
Do I ever miss my service rifle... but I'm not willing to go jump through the fascist hoops in order to get one. Then jump through some more hoops when I want to use it. For that same reason, I got my money back and walked out of the hunting class. It just takes one government thug with a chip on their shoulder to ruin your whole life. You pretty near need a legal team on retainer in order to hunt or own a restricted firearm. The whole process is disgusting!
Great rifle though.... think I had a handful of stoppages in 6 years... Never had a stoppage yelling, "budget cut" though ;)
