I talked with Ian Skennertonlast weekend and he told me that the new Ranger rifles will be based on the AIA M10 Enfield derived rifles, be in 7.62 NATO and made by Colt Canada
. He was very firm in his assertions.
I told him if this was true, it would be very nice for Colt Canada to also produce these for the civilian market, but I doubted so considering their (Diemaco's) history with refusing to consider a semi auto AR for the Canadian civilian market.
