Diemaco I believe makes the only 'real' C7. Unless they're buying from someone else now. Bushmaster makes a copy of the upper reciever.

Nice stuff, guys!!! Keep showing them pics! I love the C7.

Well mine has the Splintered “A” forge marking but either way it’s another excellent product from BM.

Just to be extra anal, Diemaco is the only company to make a real C7 or C8 upper as they are the only ones to market them as such. With that out of the way, when Diemaco decided on the configuration of the rifle Colt wasn't yet making the A2, they were making the A1 with improvements such as;
-A2 sight base with .750 dia barrel (C7 only, the C8 uses a 14.5" pencil barrel and an A1 (.625) FSB -A2 flash hider -A2 lower -case deflector Anyway, if you want the absolutely best possible quality and as original as possible then buy one of the used Colt upper assemblies off of CMMG and replace the barrel. This would be accurate as some of the initial C7's and 8's contained some Colt parts. I'm Canadian military and I come across Colt manufactured bolts at work all the time. |

Since Colt aquired Diemaco, I guess the C7 and C8 models are now Colt anyway.
P.S. I have a CMMG Commando Upper coming in, but I doubt it will be here for a few weeks, as they are at SHOT. www.colt.com/mil/news.asp |

My Fulton Armory C7 upper is a splintered "A" forging also. It works fine. |

be careful with the cmmg commando uppers! some listed have dremelled feedramps so it would make it troublesome to mate with a different barrel!

I have a new DPMS C7 from CMMG that has the Anchor Harvey forge mark.
But, I dremeled my own feedramps, to match the M4 barrel extension on my new CMMG 14.7" LW barrel.

If you mean these www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=119&t=287775 They are not dremmelled. Those are factory Colts. If you didn't. My mistake and carry on. |

No and No This style of upper originated at Colt. Everything Diemaco does originated at Colt except the 14 slot flattop upper and that wierd barrel setup on their current Carbine. |
