    Canadian Colt

    I saw a Canadian Colt AR at the local gun show today. I thought that was interesting. It was just your standard AR but did have 4 digit low serial #'s. Asking price was 1495. I have the guys card, should I buy it?
    Any info you guys have would be great!

    It said made in Canada on the lower and had a low serial number ie... 000xxxx. It was stamped with the Colt branding. I think it might have also said Sporter, but I am not at sure about that.
    The guy who had it seemed quite impressed and kept pointed to the "Made in Canada" stamp. ha ha he was cool though. I wish I knew more about AR's but that is why I'm here! Thanks!

    FWIW:
    I have seen a few Italian made M1 Garand recievers with Dane markings way up in the NE US. I believe that they were the real deal.
    The border was/is very porous up there. , so who knows?

    ETA: A couple of Canadian web sites:

    Did the receiver have the "Colt Canada" engraving? There are some 6920's out there that have gotten into the US under LEO contracts. They are made in the Diemaco plant that Colt now owns.

    Colt Defense Made in Canada

    Yes it came through LE from the Diemco plant. What do you guys think? Rare? Should I jump on it?

    Diemaco C8 (SFW)

    Known by us Brits as the L119A1.

    Diemaco=Canuck Colt now.

    More or less the same as an M4 w/ a few slight differences.

    Yes..Jump on it if it checks out.

    I have to agree with SloaneRanger. If it checks out it'll be a good firearm. I am issued an SFW here in Canada and they are quality pieces. SAS issue them as well. Diemaco is now Colt Canada. Website is www.coltcanada.com.

    Anyone know if there is collect-ability to the Canadian made here in the US?
