Canadian C7 & American M16A2

[Lee Enfield]

OK, got that. I was thinking USA A1 configuration. I knew the first Diemaco C7 rifles had the A1 upper with the built in brass deflector. I'd like to find a set of real Diemaco/Colt Canada green plastic furniture. I built a clone exactly like CODFan's second rifle but with black furniture and the later Colt 6 position collapsible stock. It's a straight A3 upper/barrel assy made by FNMI in Columbia. The barrels had to be configured with the "skinny" section to attach the M203 GL. I hope Colt Canada can hang in there. Colt Hartford isn't doing so well but at least they're still going. They've been bankrupt 3 times in the past 40 years or so.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. When the CF decided to go green, they trialed 2 methods while Diemaco prevaricated.

1. green paint
2. Armalite green furniture
