Surprised that the "Arctic Trigger Guard" on the FNC1A1 is not mentioned. This arrangement allowed the trigger guard to be released and revolved into a slot inside the pistol grip, leaving the trigger "unguarded" so the rifle could be fired while wearing heavy mittens.

Regards FN-FAL Information Webpage: where it refers to the Canadian issue Rifle, 7.62 mm FN C2A1 having a "rear sight mounted on the top cover, not the lower receiver".

The service standard issue rear sight for the Rifle, 7.62 mm FN C2A1 used a rear folding disc sight of the aperture type. This sight was mounted to the lower receiver in the same fashion as that found on the C1A1 models. However: the sight was graduated in metres, with apertures from 200m through 1000m.

Is there any example of a Canadian Arsenals Limited manufacture rear folding disc sight graduated to 800 metres?

Not sure if you can look at that photo, but it's an FN-C2 with the rear sight mounted on the top cover.
