Where to Buy a C3a1

[rgg_7]

I've been asked this question many times.

I've replied that there were approximately 500 manufactured under contract with the Canadian National Defense Department (DND) by Parker Hale. These were placed into military service and a hand full were transferred to other Agencies. So the story goes approximately 10 where returned to Parker Hale early on in the program as they were provided with M87 profile barrels. For unknow reasons Parker Hale replaced these rather than rebarrel making a total of 510 C3a1 out there. The 500 military unit are unobtainable leaving just the 10 in public hands. Very, very rare sniper rifle.

Most collectors are aware of 00341G that Highwood Classic sold a couple years ago. It was one of the 10 however had an incorrect bolt, stock and scope. Rumour has it coming to Canada. Anybody know who purchased this?

Lastly if your not able to buy one of the remaining 9 then it is making a correct "clone" with as many original parts that you can source.

Any other advice?
