Diemaco (Colt Canada) C8A3
Hi
I'm glad to present you my latest creation : A C8A3. Right now, the only thing really missing to make it nearly identical to the RS one is the Tri-Ad. (Anybody here have one for sale ??) Hope you like it. I can details the parts used if you are interested. Thanks ! Vincent Last edited by Upnorth; October 25th, 2009 at 14:37.. |

The only thing I'd suggest is change the sling loop. Instead of the little 'circle-type', Diemaco uses a wider loop that lets you feed slings straight through;

Yes, I was aware that the original uses the strap loop but I was thinking that maybe the users can make some minor tuning on the rifles ? If that's not the case I'll buy a strap loop asap ! BTW : are you the same Lerch that had Triad for sale at some point ? Do you have any idea where I could find one to finish that baby up ? Cheers ! Vincent |

good work!
but I have noted that - the tactical charging handle should be different - you can try to use Classic Army CA-P123M sling adapter) - black metal mags are looking better :-)

If you're looking to replicate an "issue" C8A3 then I'd stick w/ the wide sling loop. Looking pretty awesome so far, don't forget the "A3" engraved in white beside the "C8" in the trades. @Texas: The charging handle latch he is using is pretty close, but yeah not quite; Last edited by Kokanee; October 25th, 2009 at 20:05.. |

Looks like either TM or ICS, both make the slim type.

I think for C-series carbines,the ELCAN scope is the most unique shining-character!!

Hi
Thanks to everyone for the comments Sling adapter : Ok, I'll get the strap one, looks better anyway Charging handle : I think no-one makes the canadian one. This is the Madbull one, that's the closest I could find Handguards : these are the G&P ones For the A3 text, what would be the best way to reproduce it - how is it made on the real rifles ? Thanks again for the interest in my project ! Vincent |
