Netflix has a movie called "Hyena Road" that is about the war in Afghanistan.  A fictional one.   But I kinda liked it.  There was lots of Canadian AR's in there though.  And I think they might have been what they typically use.  They had 1 carbine with that weird profile.  And I saw some 20"er's with that CAR stock.  And they all had rubber buttplates on their CAR stocks.  You guys can be the judge.  I'm no expert.  The acting on the one older guy was very natural though and made it seem realistic.  I thought.    And it had an interesting plot.

A buddy of mine was the armour for the movie. If I recall correctly it was filmed in Jordan. He also was the armour for Suicide Squad.

That is beautiful!

Did you watch it?  Did you consult him?  It seemed like they had their canadian AR's right on.  But I'm no expert on them.  I didn't see any with an old C7 upper though.  Just flat tops with the older Elcans.

All the AR's you see in that movie are either Colt Canada C7A2's or C8A3/SFW's. The C8's that we have now use a Simon sleeve over the barrel for attaching of the M203.

You won't see carry handles used by us anymore, it's all flat tops with Elcan C79's, Eotech's or private purchase optics.

You got it???  Lol, congrats man....wish it wasn't such a one way street for parts, but defintely happy for you :)

Question for the Canadians.  What folding sight/gas block is on the C8SFW?

Waiting for Rebel Rouser to chime in, he'll probably know,

The 11.6 MRR are out.

DAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNNNNNNN

Wow

Are you buying one?

I think I might sit this one out.....or at least wait out until either a blemished batch comes out or I somehow find some money the wife doesn't know about.

Very nice indeed.

In the late 80s, the combat arms got the flat-top C7s with the ELCAN sights, while the combat service support troops had the carry handle and iron sights.  So now everybody gets the optical sights?

Yep, I'm from CSS and all of our C7A2s have the Elcan, the green furniture and collapsible stock.  When I first joined the unit, we had all black C7s, fixed butt stocks but Elcans were on there already.

Another Colt Canada offering I'll be sitting out on because I have my gun money tied up in precision stuff right now, lol!

Oh, that 10.5" makes me randy.

Who needed a sling? Plus I didn't want the thread to archive.

I have one. It looked like this for a while.







But I felt this barrel deserved a free float hand guard and I wasn't really going for a clone.







 

I want that upper for my SBR.

I want that 11.6 MRR too!

Is that truly a one-piece combined handguard and upper receiver?

Looks like a monolithic upper to me.

How does it work with buying Canadian gun parts in the states?

Everything except the lower and barrel are importable. Just have to have a valid ATF Form 6 (import permit) for anything over $100.

They will approve Form 6s for individuals, if for personal use and not for resale.

Having said that though, I think the hard part would be finding a dealer that would be willing to wait on a Form 6.

Is it possible to get Colt Canada uppers in the US?

The licensing agreement at one time with Colt USA is that Diemaco was allowed to sell product in the US as long as Colt USA was the main contractor and Diemaco was the sub contractor. But it might only apply to Mil/LE only. I'm not sure.

Anyone know if the CAF has replaced the Insight M3X lights with better lights, and if the Eotechs are still in use, either the 552, 553, or EXPS-3?

Yes I watched. It looks like all the guns are SA15.7 and SA20. Them are all semi-auto. If you look closely at some of the close up of the rifles you will see Colt Canada's Cage Code# 2C085 and no sear hole.

Good video. Couple of mistakes. The barrels are 15.7". SAS grenade launcher doesn't attach to the sleeve, they use the HK AG36. That's why the L119A1 has a different FSB and also the SAS/Canadian lower RAS.

Will watch later. I really like his videos.
