God I love those elcans. How hard are they for you to get up there? I know nothing of the Canadian surplus market

They are very hard to find even here. You used to be able to get them from a shop called Nordic Marksman that sold a lot of Canadian Army gear but that well dried up years ago. Now you can find one pop up on Gunpost or CGN once and a while but for a lot of dough

Damn, thats rough. As an American I've always been mad jealous. Canada's c7 and c8 is peak AR. Those elcans just complete the picture.

C7 and C8 are really amazing rifles. I believe Army guys for the most part hate the C79 lol. It's a great optic, but it's heavy, has poor eye relief and can be a pain to zero. But it's built like a tank. You could probably find an M145 in the US surplus I would imagine, it's the equivalent you guys used to use on your 240s. Not in the nice Canadian Army green though
