Colt Canada has been awarded a major IDIQ type contract by the Forsvarsministeriets Materiel- og Indkøbsstyrelse (FMI) / Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation to supply 26,000 (plus an undisclosed number of future options) of the new GV M/25 variants of their C8 MRR rifle to the Danish Armed Forces and Home Guard. The official signing ceremony for this contract was conducted during the 2025 edition of the DALO Industry Days exhibition with the Head of the Land Division of FMI, Colonel Thomas Øgendahl Knudsen, CEO of COLT Canada, Sean Congdon, and Canada’s Ambassador to Denmark, Carolyn Bennett.
Since 1994, Colt Canada’s C7 rifle and C8 carbine have formed the foundation of Denmark’s small arms capability. This latest contract win reinforces their position as a leading supplier of small arms to customers who demand exceptional performance, accuracy, durability, and lifecycle support.

Their spec of C8 MMR has a similar upper to the C8A4 but with a standard lower with no ambi controls.
Optic is the Elcan Spectre DR with the pic rail on top.
No suppressor shown but the muzzle device is a bit peculiar. It’s no standard A2 flash hider.
No ambi controls? Every M/10 from Gen.1 to Gen.4 rifle in the Danish army has ambidextrous controls, so I’m pretty sure they’d also include in for the M/25 as well.
