Question:about finding C7,C8 rifle parts

hey,could anyone tell me where and how i can get some C7,C8 rifle parts?
especially the OD stock(with no-slip rubber butt pad).
and some other parts,like OD handguard ect.

btw,does anyone know how to get the authentic cadpat camo?i spoke with those guys in the army,they recommended me get the genuine cadpat from ebay,but personally i dont think thats a reliable way to do...
for those surplus stores,do they carry the genuine cadpat in store?(even they are surplus..)



thanks for all replies!

Ya, some surplus stores carry used cadpat clothing, often along side the fake stuff.

I know the mags are easy enough to find on airsoftparts.ca, I use em in my M4 and they work really nice. I think I bought a box of 6 for like 80 bucks maybe?

We do not use the plastic ribbed "thermold" magazines anymore; I've been in the army for 10 years and I have actually never even seen one in person.

They were originally intended as "throwaway" magazines that would come preloaded w/ ammo from the factory, but then this being Canada, they were pressed into service as regular magazines. Soon enough, their limitations became evident and we switched over to standard USGI steel magazines.

If you want an accurate C7/C8 build, use standard M4/M16 magazines. G&P arguably makes the best midcaps IMHO.

My G&P MP5 midcap mags are the best I have, so I can vouch for them too (just not for the Armalite versions, I haven't used). But call it a +1 regardless.

Actually theres a TRIAD on Canadian Weapons, and there is a issued weapon light, the M3X and IR Aiming devicies PEQ2 and PAQ4 as well as vert grip. As well some troops have gotten their own RAS handguards. Only thing I've ever seen taped onto a weapon was the pressure switches(extra security incase the velcro lets go)

Also, the C8 comes with an EoTech, some units issue out a Elcan aswell.

He doesn't mean thats what they do. He just gave the poster a simplified way of doing what he wants..

Thanks tips..

I was commenting on one part of his reply, and saying how to make it look like an accurate CF C8 as we don't tape accessories onto our weapons and giving the OP some other options.
