The optic is an ELCAN - which is an awesom optic, very rugged and very clear, developed for the Canadian military (for the M16/Deimaco C7.) The little thing immediately in front of the ELCAN is the Diemaco BUIS. |
Where does one acquire a Diemaco BUIS, and do you use it in that forward position, or does it get moved back upon removal of the ELCAN? I've only seen a few pictures, and those were from the side. |
If the ELCAN breaks, you'd move the BUIS to the rear of the receiver (where the regular AR iron sights sit). I just mount it on the rifle so I don't lose it. Unfortunately, I do not know of any place that sells the Diemaco BUIS  Sorry. I got mine from a soldier in the Danish army - who use the Diemaco C7/C8 combo with ELCAN for all their troops. I was building a C7-clone, so I really wanted one - and traded him some other stuff for it. (He also gave me a snazzy Danish army ELCAN cover.) So I was just extremely lucky to be able to get my hands on one - but I've never seen one for sale - and Diemaco apparently doesn't do civilian sales.

Took a new pic right before the sunlight faded. The deer around here are tired of getting shot at.   Sorry about the quality, but we live right on a river, and there were many boats out cruising, so I waited for a break in traffic, ran out the back door, threw the rifle on the cement deer, and took the pic. Little did I know, it was blurry. Specs: RRA lower that I put RRA parts in (LPK, stock, even the houge that has the RRA symbol on it) Standard RRA A4 20" upper bought from a guy "on the inside" that I know a month after the Sunset. I just got that EOTech 512 a couple weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier. WIZZO |

Not a rifle but it is a RRA http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/tec15/IM000082.jpg |
Canadian Army look-a-like? |
Actually, I used to have the ELCAN and BUIS on a 20" AR with flat-top. THAT was my full-blown Diemaco C-7 look-alike. But then I liked my new midlength SO much, that I put the best optic I had on it, which was the ELCAN - so now it's not really a look-alike of anything, just a nice set-up. |

Here is my recently assembled (I won't say finished) first build. Bought the Rock River lower complete at a gun show. CMT upper,bolt carrier,charge handle, and 16"GTS Recon barrel came from Denny's Guns.Topped it off with Yankee Hill Machine flip up sights. I recently added a Bushnell red dot(Not enough funds left for EOtech). Went to the range 2 weeks ago and it will shoot into 2.5 inches offhand at 25 yards. Haven't been further than that yet but I will soon.http:// |
How bout now? |
