I believe I have everything gathered up for my C8 build.

Looks great. Looks like you even have the .750 FSB. Are you cutting the barrel to 14.5 or 14.7? That is what gave me the idea for the build was the .750 FSB and will be sending the barrel next week to (JT) Retro Arms Works for the barrel cut and pinned A2 birdcage. "EDIT" The length of the barrel after Retro Arms Woks will be just a hair over 16". |

Front handguards? How come the lower is bare metal? I have a great set of Colt 6 hole handguards I got from Boywonder777 and the lower, upper, charging handle and delta ring will be going out for XM colt gray anodizing I will post updates of the build as I get parts back.... |

I have a C8 style build, but it's not really appropriate for this particular thread. The only thing i lack is the correct barrel profile and lower with markings (why I asked about yours).
Mine is a C8 SFW clone, and looks just like the one pictured on the Colt Canada website. Colt Canada C8s

Colt Canada C8s http://www.coltcanada.com/images/c8sfw.png Looks good, speaking of barrels I got mine back today from Retro Arms Works. JT always does a OUTSTANDING job. I had him to cut, crown and pin and weld the A2 birdcage that now gives me 16" over all length

The weld looks really nice. There is a badass SBR version of the C8 Carbine in use by Canadian, UK, and Norwegian SF http://i2.wp.com/blazepress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/1628.jpg?resize=960%2C506 Can we say "Buck Rodgers". |
| A limited amount of contract over IUR uppers with 15.7" barrels from Colt Canada's Danish contract were recently released to the civilian market - My buddy picked one up for $900Cdn - without charging handle or BCG. The IUR uppers differ a little from contract to contract with or without the lug for the grenade launcher or more or less rail depending on the customer. |

The C8 build is complete. Special thanks to Retro Arms Works, Braceman and Boywonder for their excellent work and parts. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u92/redfiredog8/C8/c04_zpsb34bgkpj.jpg http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u92/redfiredog8/C8/c01_zpsrhzcyczl.jpg http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u92/redfiredog8/C8/co3_zpsg85oh4r5.jpg http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u92/redfiredog8/C8/c05_zpssxbn9ezl.jpg That is one sweet C8!!! |
