Consistently trusted in worldwide service.
C8A4
THE ENDURING STANDARD. CONSISTENTLY PROVEN PERFORMANCE, WIDELY DEPLOYED BY FORCES IN NATO TERRITORIES AND WORLDWIDE.
Deployed extensively by forces in NATO territories and worldwide, the long-proven performance of the renowned C8A4 carbine is further amplified with the flexibility of Colt Canada’s Modular Rail Rifle (MRR) design philosophy.
The sturdy monolithic upper receiver leverages the advantages of the versatile Magpul® M-LOK® mounting system, allowing operators to add only the sights, optics, rails and accessories needed for their mission. The resulting forend weight savings delivered by this modular approach contribute to improved balance, manoeuvrability and overall weight distribution.
Compared with non-chrome lined barrels, the free-floating, cold hammer forged, chrome-lined barrel of the C8A4 offers a significant improvement in service life. The C8A4 offers extensive customization options to suit a wide range of mission requirements. Please enquire for further details.
