That looks sweet. I don't imagine the rifles will ever get across the border, but I'd love to get a set of that furniture.

That looks great.  I have finally given up on the C8A3.  I don't think wee will get them imported and the cost looks like its too high anyway.

Hell yeah. And we call ourselves a free country.

Nice looking weapon friend! Appear to be making some folks jealous below the border.

What did you do to,"make it a C8A3"?  What configuration was it in when it arrived to you?

We thought the importation laws south of the border is quirky.  BTW, that Colt Tactical A3 on GB has a alloy stock instead of the fiberlite.

Model 1 Sales has that green colored furniture including the CAR stock. My SBR will have it all on as soon as it gets back from Adco.

Great looking rifle OP.

Not trying to be technical here OP, but that looks like 'fondling" instead of "molesting" to me  Once again, I'm green with envy
