Editing Colt Canada C7 and C8 (section)

===C7CT and C8CT===
Diemaco's C7/C8 family also has two [[designated marksman rifle]] variants, the C7CT and C8CT, with CT being short for Custom Tactical. These accurized C7/C8 variants are designed to provide accurate engagement up to {{convert|600|m|yd|abbr=on}}, while providing system commonality to other fielded weapons. They have two-stage match triggers and weighted stocks to counterbalance the heavy {{convert|508|mm|in|abbr=on}} or {{convert|16|in|mm|order=flip|abbr=on}} free-floating barrel surrounded by a tubular forestock. A removable bipod, rails for designators, sling, etc. attach to that forestock. A special, distinctive pistol grip is fitted and the C7-style buttstock can be adjusted with shims. Sound suppressors are usually fitted.<ref name="SFU1">{{Cite web|url=http://www2.sfu.ca/casr/101-rifle-c7ct-mrs.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080418074921/http://www2.sfu.ca/casr/101-rifle-c7ct-mrs.htm|url-status=dead|title=Canadian Forces Rifle — Marksman Rifle System 5.56mm C7CT DM|archivedate=April 18, 2008}}</ref> The rifle is designed as a sniper spotter weapon or a police containment weapon.

Custom tactical features:
* [[Direct impingement|Direct gas system]]: The unique direct [[Gas-operated reloading|gas system]] eliminates the operating rod and keeps all of the firing forces in line with the bore for maximum accuracy and reliability.
* Hammer forged heavy match barrel: The very heavy barrel profile maintains zero with accessories fitted and provides extra thermal mass to dissipate heat for enhanced consistency.
* Flat top: The upper receiver can be manufactured in the original Canadian Forces specification [[Weaver rail]], or with a MIL-STD-1913 [[Picatinny rail]].
