Colt Canada > C7 Rifle

The 5.56 mm C7TM Rifle has a full length barrel for infantry and other arms requiring longer range capabilities. The C7TM meets all applicable military standards including: reliability in all environmental and operational conditions, accuracy, lethality, maintainability in field conditions and safety. The C7TM is the result of four generations of improvements to the most tested and battle proven rifle in the world.

• Direct Gas System. The unique direct gas system eliminates the operating rod and keeps all of the firing forces in line with the bore for maximum accuracy and reliability.

• Hammer Forged Barrel. The long-life chrome lined cold hammer forged barrel is the most advanced and durable barrel available. The integrally forged chamber ensures consistency and accuracy over the life of the barrel.

• Flat Top. The upper receiver can be manufactured in the original Canadian Forces specification Weaver rail, or with a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail.

• Simplicity. The proven design ensures ease of operation and the ultimate in maintainability. The weapon is easy to operate and can be field stripped in seconds with no tools.

• Durability. The high strength materials and precision manufacturing ensure durability and low life cycle costs. The C7TM has 97% parts commonality with all other models.

The C7TM is available in two basic configurations:

• The full length, fixed stock battle rifle C7A1TM ; and

• The upgraded adjustable stock battle rifle C7A2TM.
