The C8 is now issued with an EoTech sight; some places will issue the C8 with the C79 Elcan aswell as the EoTech.

And for the IR laser stuff; the CF uses the PEQ2 and PAQ4. Also we get the M3X Tactical Illuminator flashlight to mount on our rifles.



Here's an example of a standard C8A1 and a C8SFW with personal add ons.

The new C8A3 rifles come standard with
regular/standard plastic handguards, pistol grip an stock in a OD colour
OD Cadex folding vertical grip
EoTech 552
Diemaco/Colt Canada BUIS
And depending on the unit you would also be issued the M3X light and a C79 sight.
Thanks for the info. So you can customize your basic C8?
