So it sounds like Canadian reserves tasked with Pacific Coast defense and aiding US forces when the defense of Alaska becomes an issue would probably all have been AR type rifles, with the C1A1s mostly only turning up as possible issue to reconstituting units or newly forming/expanding reserve units as the available supply of C7s dried up. Does that sound right-ish to our Canadian members?

(All of the above relating to my pushing around ideas for my forever work-in-progress Alaska T2K sourcebook.)

Edit to Add: With war breaking out, what about the Canadian Rangers? I was thinking some limited infantry-type training, probably via mobile training teams that go to them, and replacement of their SMLEs with C1A1s.
