And is there any other difference between C7/8 and M4 or M16A3/4 (I don't know which version it's based on) ?

AFAIK, the C7 have a heavier barrel, full auto instead of burst fire, and the stock is retractable on the A2 version.

Here's a M16A4:



And here's a C7:

They are Oakley. All Ballistic eyewear in the CF is from Oakley; and we have a 60% discount with Oakley.com to purchase our own if we prefer.

The A2 also features the C79 3.5X optical scope with tritium sighting post, as well as an arctic trigger.

Yup CF issued ballistic lens are made by Revision and not Oakley. By the way mine in Afghanistan (REVISION) saved on of my eye when I got a shrapnel in it.

You are right for the C7

And no, there isn't a 60% discount on Oakley.com There is a Government Oakley Site that after sending in proof you are CF, LEO, etc you can purchase certain Oakley products at a discount, but it isn't 60%.

The C7A1 also has a Elcan C79 sight and the arctic trigger guard to... And I believe the C7 also has the arctic trigger guard. The C7A2 comes with the C79A1 or A2 sight. Also, the Elcan is 3.4x magnification AFAIK

Assuming I don't choke on the price, where would I buy an Elcan C79 optical sight?

Skelator their are a number of goggles currently in trials, mine is the Revision one you posted but their are smaller ones and more profiled ones currently in the system for trials. I just have the revision ones because of the perscription inserts.

True true... hell we dont even have Oakley Goggles as far as I am awar.

Don't have Oakley anything unless you buy it yourself or people get together and put an order in through that Government Oakley site. The prices are cheaper but it's a bit of a pain in the ass if your doing it just for yourself, and maybe it's just me but I don't feel too comfortable about faxing someone my DND ID.

Kingston just got the new Revision BEW maybe two-three months ago? Until then we still were getting the one with a green frame, no idea what company that was by. Still Revision or no?

Wolverine supplies. Black rubber cover only.

About 1200$ Not all of them as tritium. Same reticule.

Ya just an upgraded model. Apparently the lenses dont scratch as easily. I will say that I have absolute faith in the BEW system.
