O'Dell showing off why us CC/D fanboys are fanboys. C8A4 to be shown at SHOT show.

I just want prices as if i was living in the US buying a Colt USA product. Except in Canada from Colt Canada. That being said. Im happy we can get there stuff, would love some basic C8 10.5 11.5 to be offerred. $1500 tops. $999 for a complete upper. Tax's in new.

Thats how i see it. No SA bcg or any BS. Straight Milspec as CC makes them. No neutered versions. That is a perfect Carbine rifle.

Anyway comparing my Devtec marked BCG to DD i find them very simular. And higher quality then my Colt USA BCG's.

I basically own most of CC rifle parts on all differrent guns now. I will buy a complete rifle soon.

Thanks CC for making it happen though.

Go through the hastle of developing monolithic upper with free floating barrel just to bolt a knife onto it. Good grief.

That is the price of doing sharp edged business unfortunately. Mounting a bayonet to an aluminum upper is a recipe for a destroyed upper if you stab into anything solid. The barrel is the most solid mounting point on the rifle and about the only part that will handle the leverage applied during agressive bayonet use.

As far as the C8A4 variation goes, it is a slick gun. Tan will look pretty awesome also. That being said, I am not personally a fan of the Magpul stuff. Looks great and functions well enough, but not as durable as CF issue furniture. Just my .02.

I'm not a big fan of the green and as much as I understand manufacturer going with MOE I hope the CF would get something better... but everything else I do like. And I love how the bayonet fits just perfect in front of the rail yet the gas block is still under the rail, the magic of 15.7" strikes again!
 
That "C8A4" doesn't have an auto-sear and has Magpul furniture, which a real C8A4 won't have. That looks like just another civilian rifle in green.

Its not CC that sets the price. Its ODell and they are criminals.

I can comment on this now as it's water under the bridge but when Korth Group had CC first the prices were dictated by CC and not Korth. The price was eventually lowered to a high but more reasonable NUMBER. when wholesale distribution shifted to ODell we chose not to support the line for other reasons. I don't know who is currently determining retail pricing. Phil.

I have never done any bayonet training with the new one, however I have heard they break easier than the older version.

Yes, the tang is only about 3/4 of the total handle. When we first got these in 2004 we ran the bayonet range in Quantico and a broke a crap load of them. We also bent about 75% of our barrels enough that they had to be replaced.

It is basically a danish upper with m-lok minus built in QD socket. I don't care about what Cf is going to buy or what they are trying to push on the CF, they tend to choose crappy configurations for arcane reasons like mounting bayonet. I would rather have rail estate for laser and light so I don't get a big shadow at 9.

it looks to light for the CF... and with a hard mounted front handgaurd system only one option...

It needs a 4 LB block of steel under the front rail, screwed on, stakd and locktite (so the troops don't remove it of course)... you know so the M203's fit on with the bayo mounted.
 
The only reason I wouldn't buy one is because they show it with the C9 FH and some kind of back up sights but when a civilian gets it, there will be an A2 birdcage and probably no BUI. It's slight of hand. Show you one thing while giving you another.

Slight of hand or failure to confirm the rifle has all the features you wanted?

No dog in the fight, but Unless there is a CYA disclaimer that actual item may differ from product advertisement, I'd say onus is on vendor/retailer to deliver as advertised vs something differner

I checked a bunch of vendors after reading your post and I couldn't find a single one that shows a picture of an MRR with the newer C9A2 flash hider.

A true statement but as pointed out above it has not been found advertised with the "cool" flash hider. If it were me and it did not come as advertised then it would be going back. You have options..

this sort of ties into what i was trying to say above. the marketing for presales are done based on a pictures and not necessarily a spec sheet - if i was buying based on the picture i would expect the picture unless otherwise indicated by the vendor. even the EE sellers include "does not include BUIS" language to make sure what they are selling is a true representation

I agree sir, part of the onus is on me to research all the info about said item.

If you go to a wonderful page called google and type in Colt Canada MRR you will see a posting from the SFRC. Do your homework.

I'm just being the devils advocate. I also agree that not offering it and from what i see not disclosing that fact is a bit shifty.
 
Finally went back to the pencil barrel profile.
About f**king time.
Other than that and the free floated barrel I'm not seeing anything mind blowing.
Then no FSB which makes a shorter sight radius for irons.
Meh at best....especially with the inevitable $4K price tag and marketing hype. No thanks.
