The pic you posted is of a Soldier/Police Officer of a European country that also uses the C8.

If you are going for a Canadian C8(I assume you are since you posted in the Canadian section) you don't need the Elcan. All the new C8s come standard with the EoTech 552. Some units also issue C79 Elcans aswell as the EoTechs. An we use the M203 not the grenade launcher you see in that picture.

Also the lower receiver has nothing to do with the grenade launcher. The grenade launcher is mounted on the upper receiver.

An a FYI the Canadian Military hasn't used thermold mags since the early 90s, we use the STANAG magazine(same as the US)
