Was at the recent Defence on the Dock event in Victoria, BC, Canadaicon and interested to see a C3A1 on display. It was being displayed by the Tactical Operations Group and I learned the following http://www.navy-marine.forces.gc.ca/...nits-ntog.page

Rifle, especially stock was rather worn. Apparently obtained from CFB Gagetown they are currently being sent back for rebarelling. Equipped with Schmidt and Bender PMII scope. Employed without a sling from RHIB or helicopter to provide long range suppressive fire while boarding parties get onboard. Use commercial ammo. Use Nanaimo range for practice at distances up to 500 metres. Due to be replaced "soon" with a semi auto DMR similar to Britishicon L129A1. They would not let me take it home for a play date........
