 Diemaco C8 Carbine: A LEGO® creation by Robert P. : MOCpages.com
Diemaco manufactures the C7 rifle, which is similar to an M16A2 in overall appearance but uses the M16A1 sights, and has fully automatic fire as opposed to a burst.
It still uses the M16A2 furniture, cartridge, etc. The C8 is the carbine version and is somewhat similar to an M4A1, but does not have the removable carry handle and once again uses M16A1 pattern sights.
I have never seen a Diemaco C8 in my life, but judging that they and the family of M4's and AR's look alike, I can guess this is pretty dead on.
