Canadian C7 & American M16A2

[CODFan]

I just wanted to add one more comment on the barrel profile of the C7.

The initial C7 barrel was a standard A2 government profile, cold hammer forged, 1/7 twist and chrome lined.

Later, all Diemaco made barrels were Hammer Forged Heavy barrels.

The pencil barrel image is of the Israeli M16A1 with the replacement C7 style upper receiver.

As true Diemaco C7 uppers are unobtainium, this is close enough for my clone

I did have one. But that was way back in the beginning...they are out there in a distinctly rare quantity. Yes, we had the round forward assists.

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

With the discussion of balance and weight I thought I might toss my hat in the ring with this one. Retro Colt 651 fixed stock carbine. 4.5 inch barrel with pinned & welded extended A-1 flash hider so she is legal. Very well balanced with no sliding stock wiggle.
Very little information avaliable on these as to by whom and were used or production figures.

Those might be the handiest shooters too...
