Ladies and Gentlemen,
some days ago I placed in the Military Literature file a short review of a new book :
Canadian Airborne Forces since 1942.
One of the photos in it has me intrigued, showing a C7A1 with not the normal "Canadian Rail" with the Elcan C79 " but :
"One photo is of interest in that it shows the experimental tan combat uniform used in Somalia. It also shows a odd cheek extender fitted to the butt of the C7 rifle, with the equally odd "carry handle extender" for the battle scope, no one has been able to explain to me the reason for the 'dead end alley' modification, when the system currently used was already trialled and in production for commercial AR-15s in the US (any ideas as to the reason anyone???)."
Since there has been no response, I though I would spread the search, to see if anyone can help?
Yours,
G/.
