Colt Canada finally changes its tune?
After a long time seeing the M16 page on the wiki say that Colt Canada AKA Diemaco doesn't sell its products to civilians, armourers or otherwise, there are signs that Colt Canada might be finally making an about-face on this.
http://ottawacitizen.com/news/nation...anadian-public Does this mean that we'll finally start seeing C7 and C8 rifles in films/television involving the Canadian Forces soon? Or will they still be at such low levels of demand that they'll just continue to use stand-in firearms/non-firing replicas instead for the foreseeable future? |

Heard about this on TFB.
Authenticity is always nice, but I really don't think there will necessarily be enough difference between the lookalikes and the real thing to justify the cost of the new rifles and carbines.

I hope someone takes the time to change the bit on the M16 page on the wiki that says "Colt Canada refuses to sell to civilian armourers." Assuming they don't change their minds, they should be doing so now. |

Which is still cheaper to do than buy whole new rifles. Besides, we don't yet know whether or not their civilian rifles will be manufactured with all the same features as the current C7A2 and C8A3. Chances are they'll probably offer replica rifles at a higher premium (like Colt with their LE6920 "SOCOM M4" almost-replica), but we should wait and see.
