Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

[MilEME09]

What ammo spec are we talking here? I've seen video of 75 grain bullets travelling at 3500fps, with a pressure of 100000 psi! I would agree with @KevinB that is a substantial increase over standard NATO 556, which is generically described at 62 gr/~62000 psi. That will be punishing to barrels no matter the metallurgy...

GD has been tight lipped I've heard rumors its 72gr but nothing firm. Asked my contact and he said GD has been stone walling them.

Slightly different topic, confirmed the surpressor on both version. It is also fixed....so I have one question, where's the BFA go?

I have heard rumours of a “Holywood blank” that requires no BFA but is magnitudes more expensive.

And the bayonet.

And the bayonet.

Will be retired.

Blanks are ivo of 4EFC’s The powder cuts the throat - so in the ideal world they die.
Run a Sims bolt for any FoF

Fixed is a bit of a misnomer, as you take them off to clean the barrel, and SSI (and all other .mil suppressor companies) has a bullet trap BFA can look a like, as well as a Sims ‘can’ for FoF.

Given there is no tactical situation to realistically remove the can, having a thread on non QD rifle/carbine can isn’t a bad thing.
