Where he got them is probably a place where you can't (since you're in Canada )

Check out getting Age Verified, you can pick one up in the classifieds here.
You should also check out the Laws regarding importing of certain airsoft parts.

Can't remember C7A1's, but there's a few A2's with the KAC M5 setup. And it's not whole units that use them, just privelaged individuals with deep pockets.

Hello guys !

I have been blessed to get the Tri-ad...and more !

Here are some pictures of the C8 as it stands today...

The CADEX tactical handle and the Tri-ad :


The BUIS behind the Eotech, common configuration in Afghanistan...


The new flash-hider (Guarder) with the correct C8A3 spacer :


The Tri-ad with one of the rubber covers removed (not often seen I believe):



And finally, the new sling loop as fitted on C7 and C8s:



Hope you like the replica - I surely do !

Why do you have the Cadex Vert Grip mounted backwards?

Also, having the BUIS behind the EoTech and other Red Dot/Holo sights is common everywhere not just Afghanistan or with the CF.

Hi noticed that the grip was backward when looking at the pictures. It has been corrected since...

:lol:

For the BUIS, yes, you are right !

Hi

It was a leftover from a M16A1 flash hider and I just realized it was thew correct size. Just luck basically...

Ambidextrous mag-release and selector switch..wide sling loop..slim grips..all the proper Diemaco parts or similar...

Damn
