Having luinch today with some of the old and bold and was told that the Canadian Army/Defence Dept disposed of vast stocks of the C1/L1A1 rifles to India. Is this true?

It certainly goes against my understanding of their disposal policy. Additionally, within a few years of the UKicon/Canadaicon/Aust disposing of our L1A1's and re-arming with 5.56, so did India - rather defeating the object of buying them.

Any answers out there in Forumland?
