Verdict
Caracal International is a United Arab Emirates firearms manufacturer best known for its Caracal F pistol. The CC10 is the company's civilian semi-automatic export of the Caracal 612 service rifle adopted by the UAE Armed Forces. Released in 2018, the CC10 reached the Canadian market in 2020–2022 in small quantities as one of the lesser-known service-rifle civilian variants alongside the more recognized FN SCAR 16S, Tavor TAR21, and Hellion. SOR/2024-248 named the CC10 on December 5, 2024. The Caracal entry rounds out the Index's national-manufacturer postmortem map — Germany, Austria, Australia, Israel, Czech Republic, China, Belgium, USA, Slovakia, Poland, Russia, Turkey, UAE. Thirteen national service-rifle lineages now represented as Already Gone entries on the Index.
