Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

[Colin Parkinson]

Bring back SMG drill!!!!

 

[RangerRay]

Should units that might actually use them during a parade or deactivate their current or partial stock when they get the new ones and use the deactivated ones strictly for ceremonial?

 

[Maxman1]

We probably have a few hundred C7A1s in storage around the country, we could simply consolidate them all in the Alta Vista vault for use in ceremonial purposes.

We do rifle drill like once ever 3 years so I'm sure we can think of more important things.

Signals collar dogs?

The entirety of the PPCLI was deeply perplexed that not buying them was an option

I still remember the QMSI signed me up for a NPF deduction for my sash so I can be awarded one upon my promotion.

Was very clear that I was happy to pay for my own sash. I didn't understand why my pay was deducted without my permission but everybody whitewashed it.

I think “mandatory purchase” of collar dogs is more common than it should be.

I got my sash paid for by my dues - the sash can be ordered for free off Logistik. I had to pay for my stick.... and all my accoutrements

Of course colt optics, who just started in 2024, and wasnt part of the optics testing gets the contract......

 

[PrairieFella]

Anyone have any insights on this optic?

 

[Fabius]

I’m not sure this component of the Colt CZ Group is Canadian, I believe a lot of its key players are American. The CEO was the CEO previously of EOTECH.

This is an example of their product although this LPVO is 1-8 not 1-6.

I see what you did, there….

 

[Fabius]

Colt Optics has now publicly released their initial optics line up. Interestingly no 1-6 LPVO mentioned at all, only 1-8. Either Canada has decided to contract a Canadian only bespoke optic or the CAF releases had an error.

Details on their website: VMR 1-8x28 - Colt Optics
