Flashbacks to the original C7 mags.

Hopefully that's a pensionable condition.

Well its in the wild now, 33 CBG recently got to test the C25 and C26 on the range, and got some hands on with the C27 grenade launcher. Looking forward to when I can get my hands on it out west.

Friend of mine who's shot a bit tried one of them at Connaught and indicated that with the Suppressor, it seems more like a paintball gun in terms of felt recoil and noise. Also the muzzle rise is probably 30-40% of what it was with a C-7. That's good news for follow-up shots.

He mentioned that the trigger was very nice as well - not sure if they're using a drop-in trigger pack for them or something?

Probably just a quality, modern trigger set from the factory.

Years ago Drake Clark from Magpul sent me a tri-wall of PMAG’s to test as he knew my thoughts at the time on polymer mags due to the Thermold debacle.
I took 100 to Iraq, the rest got given away to CAF serials training at MidSouth and BlackWater.


Honestly the PMAG is by far the best magazine for a combat weapon at this point in time (and the last ~22 years as well).

I know Just having an old guy flashback that reminds me and others that Not Everything Was Better back in the old days.

Come on - what could be better than a Winter Ex that as soon as you insert the mag - it snaps the feedlips and half go out the ejection port - the rest get stuck in a mess.

The Diemaco (pre Colt Canada) had the gall to tell me how Thermold magazines where so superior to other magazines in testing...
