Diemaco C-7CT and Diemaco C-8CT Canadaian Rifle

These Diemaco C-7CT and Diemaco C-8CT are basically tactical sniper rifles designed for special operations troops.  The C-7CT (Custom Tactical) is a highly-modified and accurized version of the C-7; the C-8CT is the same, but  based on the C-8.  In both cases, the weapons use a heavy, non-chrome lined,  hammer-forged free-floating barrel with a round aluminum handguard.  The barrel may use a conventional flash suppressor, muzzle brake, or suppressor or silencer.

The Diemaco C-7CT and Diemaco C-8CT rifles both have two-stage match-quality triggers and flattop receivers that are topped with either MIL-STD-1913 or Weaver rails; iron sights are not  provided as standard, though they can be attached as an option.   The buttstock is modified to allow the nonfiring hand to grip it at the bottom, and is equipped with a removable counterweight to the barrel.  A heavy-duty bipod is attached at the front  of the handguard.

The pistol grip is modified to make it more ergonomic.  Other optional features include spacers for the butt or longer stocks, several different pistol grips, gas port cutoffs to allow the use of rifle grenades, and clip-on,  fixed,  or folding bipods. Diemaco can literally supply the C-7CT and C-8CT in so many different versions,  according to the customer’s choice, that all  the possible variations are impossible to list here; I’ve tried to list versions the Canadian Army uses,  which generally include a low-power telescopic sight,  muzzle brake, and folding bipod, amongst other things.
