Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

Yes however im told for the forges, its 18 months from contract signed to delivery. They are not quick things to build.

They got the forges in the 80’s. So 40 years.
There are cold hammer forges in operation from the 60’s still working.

Unless Colt Canada has been doing absolutely no maintenance on them, I don’t understand how they could be possibly EoL.

Unless they need a newer design forge to work on some harder steels - as a lot of the older forges can’t deal with certain hardnesses.

I was hoping Canada was going to go that direction. Earlier this year there was pretty much of a zero lack of interest.
Pretty much every NATO SOF is pulling their country into High Pressure ammunition and realistically that take better barrels and some other things (NDA limited here).

Sad disappointed noises.

I hope the CA does a decent job finding a LPVO and MRDS, as well looks at all the reasons why 12 O'clock MRDS where stopped using around 2001/2 time frame.

I'm happy to give a free dissertation on the subject.

i'd have to check but i suspect this is not the final optic for the C8A4, thing to remember is C8A4 and CMAR are two different projects with the C8A4 being the intermediary until CMAR delivers
