Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

They are testing different sights, one of the objectives of the trial is to collect info on feature of the various sight.
It's refreshing to see how smooth this project appears to be going, at least what is public facing. I look forward to getting my hands on one, hoping soon.

For the Love of God please kill the 12 O'clock MRDS mounting -
use a 28-45degree offset

12 O'clock is unnatural as fuck and counter intuitive when under stress (no one stick their neck out further while getting shot).
 
I dislike seeing soldiers having installed modern 2 point adjustable slings on their rifles, only to then not wear them properly and have them swing around like a pendulum below the gun. Especially annoying when they are specifically shooting at CQB distances.

On the optics I posted this quite a while back. It’s the Burris with a FastFire at the 12 O’clock I believe.

Interestingly like @KevinB noted in the 3 RCR trial pictures posted, almost no one seems to be locking the CTR stocks. I bet it’s not in the program of instruction for this rifle trial.


Managed to confirm the Optics being trialed. Interestingly the Optics being trialed are NOT the Optic of the actual Optic that will be selected. The optics are merely to expose the trial participants to fixed vs variable optics. Interestingly as well the CAF is developing its own proprietary reticle that will be part of a separate trial. That reticle is currently in testing/development with an Industry OEM.
Burris RT-6 1-6x24
Primary Arms SLx6 1-6x24
Steiner T536 5x36
Sig Sauer Bravo 5 x32

If you ever want to rehome it, let me know!
I'll keep that in mind.

I hate to say it but it, and my K98, were both wrapped up for storage when I left Shilo in 2006 and I haven't looked at them since.

I'll have to give them a look over one of these days.

My Grandfather's old .303. And an Enfield No.3 in 45/70.

Line Infantry don't need fancy slings.

A rifle is (in the right hands) a deadly weapon, not a fashion accessory ;)

Man I just remembered that garbage ‘patrol sling’ we had for a while. Forgot how much that sucked. A good adjustable two point is where it’s at. Though for some reason a lot of cops like the one point setup and look at me weird when I set mine up two point.
 
These are some very, very lucky reservists to test the c8a4. The rifle looks clean as hell. What kind of sights are those? If those are the selected sights and the cat is now out of the bag, can it be confirmed they'll go to production?

Also, pet peeve time of mine...I hate seeing OTW shirts without armour haha.

So when do you put on the hybrid shirt? What is the allotted time frame from donning and doffing fighting order to having to change your shirt? Do you expect soldiers to always carry a tee shirt and their cad pat top? It’s all very very silly.

@daftandbarmy a sling to a rifle is as a holster to a pistol. A sling that can we worn, and adjusted, while in a fighting stance isn’t a “fancy sling” it’s been the standard for over a decade.
