Let us know how you make out, I've been collecting bits for a C7A2 project as well.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the C7A2 and some of the changes proposed: http://nic.wolfeden.ca/c7a2rifle.pdf

Now onto the list of items...

Easy items:

- OD Buttstock. G&P makes a perfect one. Yes you can paint a TM one but the paint will wear off VERY easily and then it looks like crap.

http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...l?prodID=17698
Product Code GP139O
Price (USD) $49.50

- OD Handguards. G&P makes a perfect front end set with OD handguards.

http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...l?prodID=17912
Product Code GP357
Price (USD) $112.00

- OD Pistol Grip. G&P makes a perfect one.

http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...l?prodID=21415
Product Code GP190
Price (USD) $24.50

- Black Rubber Butt Pad. Guarder makes a perfect one.

http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...il?prodID=8642
Product Code G-STOCK-01
Price (USD) $19.80

- Ambi-Catch Mag Release. G&P makes a perfect one, I have it, works great.

http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...l?prodID=20388
Product Code GP535
Price (USD) $10.50

I also see that King Arms now has one:

Product Code KA-M4-09-B
Price (USD) $5.00

------

Hard to find items so far are:

- C7A2 Body. Nothing available yet here but you can purchase a no-trade body and get it engraved. Everyone "talks" about it but I've never seen one made yet.

- Ambi Selector (Obviously because the mechbox is in the way), however, you could put a fake one on the other side. May not be an issue, I've seen a few pics from combat camera of A2's without ambi selectors.

- Triad. Colt Canada is almost selling to the public, so this might just be a matter of time. However if you have access to a machine shop, there is a good line drawing with dimensions here http://nic.wolfeden.ca/c7a2rifle.pdf. Guarder makes a basic 3 rail front mount but it's not the same as the triad

- Ambi Charging Handle - That Mad Bull one (B Model) looks like it might be close enough. Not perfect, but damn close. Again, once Colt Canada is selling to the public, could buy theirs and take it apart to get the part you need. I'll order one of these Mad Bull units in the meantime.

- OD Elcan C79 - Lots of Elcan clones out there but none yet with an Olive Drab cover. Rubber is a pain in the ass to paint (it WILL flake) but you might be able to dye it.

- Cadpat Sling - Forget it, looks like it was a non-starter or is still "under development".

------

For batteries, simply remove all the head shields from the inside of the G&P handguards and install a "nunchuk" 9.6v 1700mah in the front. They use Sanyo KR-1700AU mah batteries. It "just" fits. Sample from Redwolf is here:

Product Brand 9.6 V Batteries
Product Code A-BATT010
Weight 500 g
Price (USD) $41.00

Make sure you setup your V2 Mechbox for front wiring!

Cheers
