I'm saying. And I was there.

Canadian Forces do use AK's...while on exercise as OPFOR...and more often then not they aren't wearing CADPAT when they're OPFOR.

Moot point?

The poster whom stated "Canadians don't use AKs" was speaking in a doctrinal context - ie: what is traditionally fielded by a Canadian soldier in combat.

any help would be usefull

What you could do to see if a Cadpat paint job would look good on your rifle would be to cover it with Cadpat gun tape. Yes it's out there, and it's even the right colour scheme. Beauty is, if you don't like it, just take it off and your gun is none the worse for wear.
I would recommend OD for painting your gun. It works well, it's easy to maintain and touch up if you chip it or it wears, and it goes with any camo you decide to change to. Dirt cheap at $6 a can too.

Hey Ibby... where can you buy this CADPAT camo tape you speak of? I've only seen digital tape in an arid scheme and it's not at all like actual CADPAT at all. Do you have a URL or a site where this can be found?
