Diemaco did make some models for civilians in Canada semi auto only, lower receiver being the main difference. Many military C8’s were sold as surplus less their original lower receiver. Could also buy new upper and lower receivers and flat top upper. Many of the surplus parts are in excellent condition. Trudeaus gun ban has them in limbo now with owners unable to take them to the range. Barrels cold hammer forged with thick chrome bore and chambers. Bores actually taper to about .002 at the muzzle to retain accuracy with use. Parts are made to withstand full auto. Your carbine is the 15.7 inch that gave slightly better accuracy than the 14.5 inch of the original C8. They are better made then Colt US. And made for hot and freezing climate to-40 something.
Cool but I’m not a fan of Colt’s anti-auto sear webbing in their lowers present even in the law enforcement-only models. To me personally it just serves as a reminder of Colt’s fuddism
Only 3 hours ago was this video uploaded and the colt canada rifle is out of stock in Tims store, which is expected as many want colt canada ar15’s but these are unicorns, which is why I whipped out the credit card but as expected out of stock, Im not even mad, for all the lucky ones enjoy ❤️
When going through the Colt plant tour in the 80's I was told the Canadian rifles with the cold hammer forged barrels had a longer barrel life. If memory serves me correctly in the US they were seeing about 15000 rounds and the Canadians would approach 20000.
@@GenericShirtNinja differences in chrome lining, metal and production method. Profile of the C7/A1/A2 is same as for the M16A2 ie skinny / fat. Other Diemaco rifles are different.
Maybe can finally get ahold of a Ross rifle. Feel like a lot of Canadians are holding onto those guys in their respective collections. Maybe this will open them up here in the US?
I cant believe Tim with Military Arms channel isnt covering what is happening to CRS Firearms. dudes youtube career is over because the feds decided it was time he got rekt.
I need to add one of these to my collection. I like the old look of the rifles from 2004 to 2008 which was the time I was getting my feet firmly planted in this industry. That and I don't have any Colt ARs in my collection yet
I'm just wondering why "Progressive Canada" didn't just give them to their friends in the Chinese military for those military exercises n Canadian soil.
Because while they were Canadian built they are being sold by American law enforcement agencies. It says so in the video. They never saw service in Canada.
@@americaninfidel9001 The Canadian Army didn't train Chinese soldiers. Our ding dong Prime Minister tried to invite Chinese troops here to train but thankfully our military leadership was rightfully outraged and cancelled that plan.
Hammer Forge is great, but it is 1/7 rifling that overheats too fast (Friction causes Heat) nobody shoots tracer, and you need anti copper fouling agent after 300 rounds.
I bought a Colt LE6920 through an individual officer program in 2006. What showed up was a Canadian made Colt LE6920. I thought I had been ripped off. Called Colt Customer Service and explained. He looked up the serial number and then said I was supposed to get a US made gun, Canadian guns we’re supposed to be agency sales only. I set it aside. The CHF barre is slightly more accurate than a US made 6920. Great gun
Yet two years later they've still not done anything about that badly named 'buy-back' (forced, reimbursed seizure). Of course, they're all still as safe with their lawful owners as they were beforehand.
@@verbotn yup good thing I sold all my NR that were on the list before it came out.. lucky timing for most of us it seems 😉 As for restricteds , well there are more handguns sold the past 2 weeks than last year apparently.

Check out the Colt Canada IUR upper. These were available very cheap to civilians as overruns and blems , including bolt carrier. They were originally supplied to Norwegian special forces.
They were limited over runs. Not too many out there in the civi market. But maybe when the Norwegians and the SAS are done with them they will end up for sale as surplus.
@@jimh472 There are no recall elections in Canadian federal politics. But you're correct in any event- no one's going to be rising up against the government, in Canada or the US.
I did notice the razzing! Also this rifle is now prohibited in Canada. The Trudeau government banned it in 2020. It was restricted before that, meaning only a range gun. Colt Canada also makes rifles for our military I believe. Or did before. The C8 is Canada’s M4 carbine and the C7 is the long rifle version(M16 if you will though it’s likely different). America’s rifle was very popular here but we continue to get stricter firearms regulations. Robinson Armament XCR, M1A and mini 14 recently prohibited for example. I think it’s time to move to the US.
Any idea exactly how many of these were made? I picked up one of those recently. The Michigan State police got new rifles and the troopers had an option to buy them. I purchased mine from an officer. Mine has a low serial number, it was one of the first 10. It has Magpul hand guards and single point sling end plate. It also has a tritium front post. It has a detachable carry handle. The other one he has had a Knights RAS and Magpul poly buis. That had a mid 200 serial number.
Diemaco made the C7(Canadian military M16s) and also for export to the UKSF units(SAS,SBS and so on) as well at Dutch military. They are better quality than the standard ones.
Not all Colt Canada barrels, but the hammer forged Colt Canada barrels have a specially designed chamber, to make case extraction easier. It is a different barrel chamber than the standard Colt designed chamber.

Because they don't elect trudeau, since Canada has an incredibly flawed parliamentary system Trudeau keeps retaining power with about 30% of the vote. Look at his approval numbers, he is consistently less popular than both Trump and Joe Biden lol
Because eastern Canadians don't have the IQ's that western Canadians have. They are easily talked into almost anything and lack the ability to think for themselves. It's Ontario and Quebec that keep voting for that Tyrannical wanna be dictator. Not just our firearms laws but he's also financially destroying Canada. He breaks ethics laws and laughs at his voters about it and they keep voting for him. What's that telling ya?
I never noticed that the bolt lugs had a slight trapezoidal taper on the back where they engage the chamber lugs. All of my military time was behind an M16A2, and I definitely never noticed that before. I wonder if that is unique to the Canadian carbines, or to the M4 series, in general. Maybe, it was also on the M16A2?
We also have another manufacturer of AR15s, Kodiak. They're decent guns and cheaper than Colt. I never tested it but I heard they're good. Thank you for the review!!!! Cheers from Montreal!!!!
I know there’s been Canadian people in the past that have brought prohibited class firearms down here to sell instead of turning them into the Canadian government to be destroyed. I’m hoping that can happen with all the now prohib. AR’s so they won’t be crushed, I’d rather Canadians be able to keep them of course.
I've asked every exporter. They won't send ARs back down there unless they were originally imported from an American manufacturer. Colt Canada stuff (uppers, lowers, barrels, etc.) up here is not exportable. You'd have to use the secret ingredient
I'm originally from Canada and have fired both the Canadian military and civilian versions of that and the 20" weapon. With C77 ammo (Canadian green tip equivalent), new rifles are extremely accurate. Unfortunately, the Canadian military teaches it's members to clean the carbon off of the crown by scraping it with the edge of a cleaning rod without a brush installed.
Makes me so sad every time I hear this. This is how you end up with run marks in anodizing and shiny barrels...troops so scared for staff to find a small smudge of carbon that they use brake and oven cleaner lol
I've got a 1 of 1100 NIB 1994 preban from some canceled foreign contract. Just a different marking than any other 6920 but I do love it and the nostalgia.
I would love it you could do a review of the civilian version of the Canadian C7A2 and civilian U.S. M4 and talk about which one is better. I hear the M4 is more comfortable but the C7 is more accurate
Yea. Looked em up and they're 1400. At this point in my life I only need so many ARs, even collectables, and for 1400 I could get something cooler in my opinion.
Tim, I know that you kind of dog Colt’s of recent manufacture but I own two and neither has ever had a malfunction. One is marked LE 6920 an d the newer one is marked CR6920. It is the EPR version with an aluminum rail, Magpul steel sights and I think Bravo stock and pistol grip. I have added a Geisel trigger and both rifles have an Aimpoint PRO red dot. They may not be considered top tier, high speed low drag AR’s but they suit my purposes very well. I trust them both. Each has a Streamlight weapon light and I believe a Blueforce Vickers style sling.
I don't really dog them. My only video on the new Colt guns (pre-CZ purchase) was that they're no longer made by Colt but by sub-contractors. I said the guns shoot great, have a good fit and finish and seem to be good rifles.
Not all of them have large pins. I have a Colt Canada upper with small pins. It has the Diemaco forging mark and the diemaco marking on the carrier. My upper is an A2 upper with pencil barrel .... model 6520 I believe.
No, not really. Geiselle uses blued barrels. There’s a reason why Colt Canada rifles are used by NATO countries that want an AR-15 and not US-made ones
@@BotNard pretty sure the Commonwealth realms use Colt Canada rifles because of the relationship with Britain Also, Geissele has only been making whole rifles for a few years so it makes sense that other other countries aren’t going to be using it as their military/law enforcement rifle. Geissele makes I think almost all of their parts in house. you’ll see, they will start getting a lot of military contracts
@@BotNard what do you mean blued barrel? They use: Manganese Phosphate coated, Cold Hammer Forge, Chrome Lined barrels, made in-house. Doesn’t get better then that
Colt Canada, has had some success with their production of the M-16 and AR-15 families. They did have an AR Variant that WAS available to Canadians, until this current government got into power. They have also sold the M-16 variants to UK Special Forces and Royal Marines (among other nations). Colt Canada is now owned by CZ. What’s its future? Well they are the sole producer of long arms to the Canadian Military. They also have some variants for Law Enforcement. The Canadian Military and RCMP are looking for a new handgun. The statement of requirement doesn’t mandate that it is manufactured by Colt Canada. However, with CZ now owning Colt Canada I think that moves CZ pistols up the list. Personally, I think, given the long history with S&W, the RCMP will go for the S&W M&P 2.0. Will the Cdn Military follow suit? Who knows.
Uhh..no thanks, these seem to have the lowers that are much harder to convert to full auto (in case of tyrranical emergency), which also prevent the installation of many aftermarket triggers. Unless you're planning on just buying it for its "collectors value", such that you thonk there'll be any in them, otherwise for actual use I'd skip these unless they were super cheap. There's so many quality AR's on the market, that don't have the weirdness and limitations of these Colt designs, which leaves little reason to get these.
@@reccecs4 lol yeah Canadian military procurement is a total joke for the most part. Mine will only ever be a quasi-clone range toy and something unique for the collection 🤙
As someone who grew up in a town bordering Hartford, and who used to drive by that blue dome on the Colt building all the time, it really makes me sad to see what such a great/historic company has become. In fact, a lot of the firearms companies that once called CT home have either closed or moved(or just kept their corporate offices here.) I mean look how little they've expanded or added to their catalog over the years. They've been making the same guns(i.e. ARs, 1911s, and revolvers) since the AR came out(and in fact stopped making revolvers(at least DA revolvers like the python) for a decade or two, and only recently started manufacturing them again. There is no innovation there at all. They only manufacture what others have designed. I mean, they can't even be bothered to build a bolt gun or a shotgun or something? For gods sake they don't even have a polymer striker fired pistol! Even Mossberg has done that! On a side note, I just looked up their website, and saw they are making retro ARs, such as M16a1s, and XM177E2s...for $2500 bucks.
They made shotguns, lever guns, double barrel, bolt guns, semi auto pistols, pump rifles, all never sold good. Some were collaborations and didn't sell good either. They sold what people bought and government bought. And now Colt is no longer American owned. Colt in name only.
I have a colt Canada iur upper mated with a spikes tacticle hell breaker lower. The problem is, I live in Canada so I am unable to sell it or even take it to the range. Sad times
Now... why should I choose a Colt product, whether its a lower or an upper, or both, of an AR-15, when I can get a combination of a PSA pistol lower and a SIG-516 for, still, half the price, second hand vs. brand new. PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN.?
Diemaco 6720/6920 are just slightly nicer versions of the Hartford. I'm spoiled as I see them pass through our warehouse every few months -6520/6920/6720. Just another Colt
For 999 & 1299$$ you can buy brand new rifles not some beat up police trade ins from "Canada" of which doesn't mean that much to me at all. That is just my opinion. I am a Colt fan. I have a Colt 9mm AR15 that I have had since the early 90s that I LOVE!!!! & a 1911 that's great also. Just dont see paying so much for a police trade in from Canada. Thank you for your great videos!! Best Regards
I was hoping our Vz58 copies would continue production by selling in the us, so when the illegal law is repealed we could still have the production line, but i doubt it survived

I've asked every exporter. They won't send ARs back down there unless they were originally imported from an American manufacturer. Colt Canada stuff (uppers, lowers, barrels, etc.) up here is not exportable. You'd have to use the secret ingredient
How about Canadians with names like mine? You cool with me having an AR?
@@alijankhan3330 why not? Whats wrong with your name?

Nice rifle, what's going on in Canada should be a huge wake up call to us in America.
They don't have the second amendment.

Are you aware that when the system labels you "antisemitic" you can shove that 2nd where the Sun don't shine?
I'm originally from Canada and have fired both the Canadian military and civilian versions of that and the 20" weapon. With C77 ammo (Canadian green tip equivalent), new rifles are extremely accurate. Unfortunately, the Canadian military teaches it's members to clean the carbon off of the crown by scraping it with the edge of a cleaning rod without a brush installed.
How much does that affect accuracy
@@tristanhodgden4286 Destroying your rifles crown affects it a lot! Groups increase by several MOA...
Makes me so sad every time I hear this. This is how you end up with run marks in anodizing and shiny barrels...troops so scared for staff to find a small smudge of carbon that they use brake and oven cleaner lol
that's fuckin retarded.
I second this. That shit makes me cringe every time.
...and I'm ordering one 😂
Copper customs has them for $1399.00
@mrgunsngear channel oh no imagine the people you will scare ….. Im quivering in my boots now…… 🙄🙄🙄🙄 LoL
@@thegreenman2030 they're sold out
To go with your open bolt lmg? I absolutely love that rifle, top 5 want to shoot along with a Daewoo constant recoil lmg.
@@brich2929 That sucks! They were in stock when I posted that.
FYI. its not an "ash leaf" - it is a Maple leaf. Same emblem that is on the Canadian flag.
I thought it was a marijuana leaf.
woosh
You should watch the entire video :)
Pine needles
I've got a 1 of 1100 NIB 1994 preban from some canceled foreign contract. Just a different marking than any other 6920 but I do love it and the nostalgia.
That's not an M-4. It's a C7.
Also, it's not an Oak leaf. LoL! It's a Maple.
I would love it you could do a review of the civilian version of the Canadian C7A2 and civilian U.S. M4 and talk about which one is better. I hear the M4 is more comfortable but the C7 is more accurate
I really like the gray vs the black
I'm not a big colt fan but I would pick one up had I not had an emergency expense last month that drained my reserve...
Yea. Looked em up and they're 1400. At this point in my life I only need so many ARs, even collectables, and for 1400 I could get something cooler in my opinion.
girlfriends will drain your reserve.

@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 I would agree but "actual MP issue" are hard to find 😉.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 also a 6920 still goes for about 1100...well the "Nutered" version anyway.

Fun fact
They'll run on maple syrup lubrication
Unfortunately, some of the rifles were dropped by their French Canadian owners.
Tim, I know that you kind of dog Colt’s of recent manufacture but I own two and neither has ever had a malfunction. One is marked LE 6920 an d the newer one is marked CR6920. It is the EPR version with an aluminum rail, Magpul steel sights and I think Bravo stock and pistol grip. I have added a Geisel trigger and both rifles have an Aimpoint PRO red dot. They may not be considered top tier, high speed low drag AR’s but they suit my purposes very well. I trust them both. Each has a Streamlight weapon light and I believe a Blueforce Vickers style sling.
I don't really dog them. My only video on the new Colt guns (pre-CZ purchase) was that they're no longer made by Colt but by sub-contractors. I said the guns shoot great, have a good fit and finish and seem to be good rifles.
Great shout out for Chris over at Small Arms Solutions. You should check out his channel guys.
Got one of these US LE Colts in 2013. Very happy with it
FCG pins are large type because those were manufactured during the AWB or before 2008. The us made Colt of that ere were the same way.
Not all of them have large pins. I have a Colt Canada upper with small pins. It has the Diemaco forging mark and the diemaco marking on the carrier. My upper is an A2 upper with pencil barrel .... model 6520 I believe.
Upper? Do you have the lower too?
I was wondering about the leaf thing! Great video!
Thought for sure the distinguishing feature was the markings would be in English and French.
A few years back I was able to get a colt Canada 6520 police trade in. I'm surprised there is more making their way to civilian markets these days.
we're not allowed to use them anymore. glad you guys get to! great vid...
I get the cool factor, but you can get a new Geissele for about the same price which is a way superior gun to any Colt/Colt Canada
No, not really. Geiselle uses blued barrels. There’s a reason why Colt Canada rifles are used by NATO countries that want an AR-15 and not US-made ones
@@BotNard pretty sure the Commonwealth realms use Colt Canada rifles because of the relationship with Britain
Also,
Geissele has only been making whole rifles for a few years so it makes sense that other other countries aren’t going to be using it as their military/law enforcement rifle. Geissele makes I think almost all of their parts in house. you’ll see, they will start getting a lot of military contracts
@@BotNard what do you mean blued barrel? They use: Manganese Phosphate coated, Cold Hammer Forge, Chrome Lined barrels, made in-house. Doesn’t get better then that
Copper says sold out. At 1399.00 I’d rather buy a new BCM anyway.
Colt Canada, has had some success with their production of the M-16 and AR-15 families. They did have an AR Variant that WAS available to Canadians, until this current government got into power. They have also sold the M-16 variants to UK Special Forces and Royal Marines (among other nations). Colt Canada is now owned by CZ. What’s its future? Well they are the sole producer of long arms to the Canadian Military. They also have some variants for Law Enforcement. The Canadian Military and RCMP are looking for a new handgun. The statement of requirement doesn’t mandate that it is manufactured by Colt Canada. However, with CZ now owning Colt Canada I think that moves CZ pistols up the list. Personally, I think, given the long history with S&W, the RCMP will go for the S&W M&P 2.0. Will the Cdn Military follow suit? Who knows.
Uhh..no thanks, these seem to have the lowers that are much harder to convert to full auto (in case of tyrranical emergency), which also prevent the installation of many aftermarket triggers. Unless you're planning on just buying it for its "collectors value", such that you thonk there'll be any in them, otherwise for actual use I'd skip these unless they were super cheap. There's so many quality AR's on the market, that don't have the weirdness and limitations of these Colt designs, which leaves little reason to get these.
Sweet finally a ar that can make a goal, and be polite while doing so
I picked one up off GB recently. Diemaco BCG and all. Threw on a C79 and a Diemaco tri-ad and I’m sooo happy with it 🇨🇦
Meanwhile Canadian soldiers spend their own money to replace the C79 and pitchfork abortion 😂
@@reccecs4 lol yeah Canadian military procurement is a total joke for the most part. Mine will only ever be a quasi-clone range toy and something unique for the collection 🤙
How much r they goin for?
@@ryanblackgoat4741 I’ve seen anything from $1400-$1700. There were few complete lowers that went for $800-$900. That’s GB for you
My MK12MOD1 clone has Diemeco upper and BCG.
Canadian, eh? I need to buy three of these and name them Geddy, Alex and Neil (RIP, Professor). 👍
As someone who grew up in a town bordering Hartford, and who used to drive by that blue dome on the Colt building all the time, it really makes me sad to see what such a great/historic company has become. In fact, a lot of the firearms companies that once called CT home have either closed or moved(or just kept their corporate offices here.)
I mean look how little they've expanded or added to their catalog over the years. They've been making the same guns(i.e. ARs, 1911s, and revolvers) since the AR came out(and in fact stopped making revolvers(at least DA revolvers like the python) for a decade or two, and only recently started manufacturing them again. There is no innovation there at all. They only manufacture what others have designed. I mean, they can't even be bothered to build a bolt gun or a shotgun or something? For gods sake they don't even have a polymer striker fired pistol! Even Mossberg has done that!
On a side note, I just looked up their website, and saw they are making retro ARs, such as M16a1s, and XM177E2s...for $2500 bucks.
They made shotguns, lever guns, double barrel, bolt guns, semi auto pistols, pump rifles, all never sold good. Some were collaborations and didn't sell good either. They sold what people bought and government bought. And now Colt is no longer American owned. Colt in name only.
I have a colt Canada iur upper mated with a spikes tacticle hell breaker lower. The problem is, I live in Canada so I am unable to sell it or even take it to the range. Sad times
I got one of the last 3 6920, LE with all the the right roll Mark's..
if I didn't already have two le6920s I'd be excited lol. but since I do, I'm just buying more mags and ammo instead of more guns haha
Shout out to Churubusco, Indiana wearing Tomlinson's shooting supplies shirt.
There is wood stock styles as well as 30-06 variants to the AR-15
What about the canadian unicorn stuff? I want the 7.62x39 M14 that uses AK mags lol
Ive done a 10 minute search and I found 1 for sale and its 1400 bucks,when he said the cheap word I was thinking more like 700
Fired the L119A2 sometime ago, was a really nice platform in comparison to some other AR15s I've shot.
Now... why should I choose a Colt product, whether its a lower or an upper, or both, of an AR-15, when I can get a combination of a PSA pistol lower and a SIG-516 for, still, half the price, second hand vs. brand new.
PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN.?
Diemaco barrels are some of the best combat barrels ever made. Far better than Colt's American made-button cut barrels.
Diemaco 6720/6920 are just slightly nicer versions of the Hartford. I'm spoiled as I see them pass through our warehouse every few months -6520/6920/6720. Just another Colt
Man, I just want the SVT-40s that Canada has.
I want the QBZ-95's.
@@Militaryarmschannel I imagine their bullpup is nothing revolutionary.
Checked the price on copper, not bad for a collectable.
I can't view the website for some reason, no matter what I do.
@@LRRPFco52 that's weird...1400.00
I love my 6920! Got it before things went sideways with Colt
For 999 & 1299$$ you can buy brand new rifles not some beat up police trade ins from "Canada" of which doesn't mean that much to me at all. That is just my opinion. I am a Colt fan. I have a Colt 9mm AR15 that I have had since the early 90s that I LOVE!!!! & a 1911 that's great also. Just dont see paying so much for a police trade in from Canada. Thank you for your great videos!! Best Regards
it is neither an ash leaf or elm leaf, its a maple leaf. had to point it out
Norwegian Special forces still have Diemaco Colts in their inventory
Wait a second.... are you close to Busco? I live in Fort Wayne and have been to Tomlinsons before. Grew up in Whitley County. That is really cool.
Aero Precision has that same little a on it so is a Aero Precision 2

Ash leaf?
I got my hopes up that cz was going to be selling some of the Canadian rifles in the US now. I really want a c7a2 and a c20
I was hoping our Vz58 copies would continue production by selling in the us, so when the illegal law is repealed we could still have the production line, but i doubt it survived
The C7A2 is the military designation, and only available in a select-fire mode. The semi-automatic version is the Colt Canada SA20.
Not happening. CZ is Euros. Europeans love government just like Canadians.
They are evil, evil people.
@@dmanx500 CZ sold vz.58 production line to Czech Small Arms long time ago..
I really like the sycamore leaf roll mark…. It’d be cool if we could get the ones with those elm leaf roll marks.
Copper Custom Armament is already sold out as of 7:55am cst 6/14/2022. Any idea if they will be receiving more and if so when? Thank you for the info on this and please keep up the great work.
A perfect base rifle if you wanna clone the C7 series
Not really. The finish is wrong, markings are wrong, etc. Actually it's a pretty bad option to build a C7 / C8 clone from.
Why is the hammer forged barrel "sub standard" for use I the military? I thought hammer forged barrels were generally the best way to go in barrel making...?
I hope someone answers this question?
Good video Brother 👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
