Canada has adopted the Colt Canada C25 under its Canadian Modular Assault Rifle effort to replace C7 and C8 rifles while keeping 5.56 ammunition. Colt Canada displayed the rifle at a Copenhagen event this month.

The C25 updates the C8A4 with improved ergonomics, a two-stage trigger, a 1-6x optic and a standard Multi-Function Muzzle Device that also serves as a suppressor, a first for any nation's service rifles. An initial order covers 30,000 general service examples that will take the place of prior C8A4 conversion work. The new rifles wear flat dark earth instead of the green furniture used on earlier Canadian models.
