WIP: Diemaco/Colt Canada C7/C8 Reference Guide

[ARC-74]

Thought this was interesting, just came across a replica Diemaco carrying handle, never knew one existed .

Not cheap by any means, especially with DHL shipping added, but it's still cool to see one.

Seems like they make the FTHB/A3 Heavy Barrel Extension as well, though it's sadly not RS spec.

Just came across this from G&P @ boomarms, for AEGs.

Hard to tell if it has any trades on the barrel from the photos.
I like how the sleeve is a separate part though.
Back to work I go.........

I know this is an old thread, but it is still a good guide.

BUT

I need some help. I recently purchased a GHK Mod-1 and I am looking on getting some trades put on it, instead of the standard MURICA FUCK YAH trades that come with it.

Now the closest I can figure, it is in the C8 family, but I am not quite sure which one it would be labeled. If anything it is more of a C8 IUR, but how would that be stamped on the receiver and would it still be an AE serial?

Any help as to what model and serial I hsould use would be great. I am throwing on some green furniture but running an alternate scope. I am keeping everything else externally the same.

any good recommendations for getting C7A2 trades done?
Have Been trying to get in contact with imperial engravers but had no joy. Anyone have either updated contact details for them or another engraver who will do CF trades?

Yes that is right, the only thing you have there that is wrong is C8 A3 is C8A3.(No Space)

Just double checked about 2 min ago with one as it was in my hands.

As stated, there is no space between C8A1, C8A2 or C8A3.

Our C8 don't have the D, it's a leaf there and they have the Colt Canada logo just above the Trigger and to the left of the fire selector.

Above that logo, next to the split for the lower reciever it says:
MADE IN CANADA
FABRIQUE AU CANADA
