Yet in my seven years in the CF (been out for the last six) I still took note G&G stated it was an A1, and the A1 never had a retractable stock. That said....sarcasm noted. I agree with everything else you said, it's got a weird mix of A2 attempts and there are way too many things wrong to consider it any real bit close to "accurate". At least the black version gets rid of that off-coloured green!
To me all this looks like is a minimalistic re-brand of an M16. If they really wanted to recreate the C7A1 they should have at least attempted to get things accurate. I could understand if Colt Canada didn't want things like exact markings, but this is beyond something simple like that. Maybe if they opted to made a deal with Colt Canada they could have made a licensed replica....but this way they can reap all the profit. Assuming there is any, like you said - unless the buyers are uninformed they will notice all that is wrong with it. Maybe they won't care and will buy anyway?
