A few gun buddies were talking the other day about Colt Canada rifles being specifically built for the Canadian military and other armed forces around the world. They were stating how much better they were built compared to Colt USA. Also, that Diemaco AR’s were the civilian version of the Colt Canada M4.
Does anyone know where I can buy an SA-15.7 and/or, an SA-20? Do they need to be imported?

They are banned from importation due to the 1989 import ban.
I have already looked into this extensively with other industry people. The ATF wont allow it.
Aw man, dayum the luck! Those are some VERY NICE rifles!
This is just my $.02, the real cornerstone of the Colt Canada rifle is the CHF barrel, that said, contact IRUNGUNS, he works and imports in both Canada & the US, he may be able to get you an CC upper for your lower? it may be a long shot, but its worth an email or phone call. CC is now selling uppers and lowers separately. Good Luck
They wont/cant do it.
Bush II banned the importation of barrels in 2005.
How about parts? I’d like a bolt carrier, and a barrel, but the bolt carrier more, I’m thinking Daniel Defenses CHF are just as good?
Just because you can’t get it doesn’t make it better. IMO… Nothing Colt makes on either side of the border is superior to anything DD makes.
Sorry but no
The Colt Canada monolith is, without question, the most durable combat upper in existence. The Colt Canada line of monoliths are probably the premier assault rifle in the world right now.
Can you explain why? Genuine question, what makes it better than anything our domestic pony puts out?
Edit: nevermind, I got going on their website, and answered my own question.
I would love to get my hands on one of their 11.6 uppers.
I agree, love to have one as well. Wonder if you could get a 16” and have the barrel shortened?
If anyone knows about Colts, it is Scotty Ryan. And I agree with you on the C-8’s. I handled a few when I spent a few years living in Canada. Great rifles, and wish the ban on barrels/part// and rifles would be lifted.
I bought a pair of Colt 6920’s in late 2006 through a LE sales site. One of the guns I received was actually a Colt Canada gun. Visually the only difference is the “Made in Canada” stamp on the receiver and the markings on the barrel were done with a laser engraving vs. stamped.
I haven’t shot the gun all that much, but I do notice a slight increase in accuracy with the Colt barrel vs. my American made 6920’s.
FYSA I have seen a guy on “other” forums selling Diemaco marked complete barreled uppers.
If I remember correctly he said they were law enforcement trade ins or something like that.
Just watch what you build around those Diemaco uppers, 'cause they’re 922R parts thanks to Bush I and the '89 import ban. 
Very annoying, since I have a C7 and C8 penciled in on the Future Builds List…
Those are still LE configured rifles, (6920, 6520, 6721, etc).
There is nobody selling C7, C8, SFW, IUR, or MMR type uppers anywhere in the US.
Well I’m slowly building up a C8 but I’m at a stand still on which rail (14.5” carbine), what rail would be correct KAC RAS or what? What lowers are being used?
Thanks
Standard issue on 15.7" C8A3 is a regular CAR skinny handguard with a screw-on Cadex Carbine Rail and a tri-rail clamped around the FSB (good LUCK finding the latter!), but some units and individuals have private-purchased KAC M4 RAS’s. 14.5 original, you’re pretty much looking at “no rails here” IIRC.
I built our A3 using a BCM SFW URG, had Buckeye Tactical special-order the rails and MacGyvered an airsoft-market tri-rail as a temporary stand-in until I have a pathway to a better option.
Nice, thank you. I think I may just go with the RAS for now? Seems the best solution while not correct, it’s correct enough for me until I can figure out a lower.
I’ve been seeing a lot of these uppers for sale lately through IG channels…they are here and ppl are trying to move them. I almost snagged one a few weeks ago.
