I just picked up one of the cdn (H&K) subcaliber kits for the C1 at the regina gunshow last weekend. Cost was reasonable at $375. Also got 3 C2 mags with a bra for $80, which I also thought was very reasonable. I also got about 2 pounds of C1 parts for about $110, which included just about enough parts to make a dozen of the rear sights. Extremely reasonable.
For what its worth, could someone fill me in on this rifle? I don't know much about them but, assume they must be full auto if they are being sent to the grinder-SDH
Any Cdn forces gun, be it a cooey 22, a Cno7 .22 enfield, a 303 enfield, an Inglis hipower, or a 50 cal machine gun, cannot be sold to the public in Canada. A few are offerred to military museums, and the rest go to the smelter. It's been like this since the late 60s (?).
The FNC1 was semi auto, although there was a navy version which was select fire. Since they had all the scary features like pistol grip, detachable mag, bayonet lug, and flashider, they were restricted in the mid 80s, and later prohibited in the mid 90s. Grandfathered owners (must have continuously owned one since they were prohibited) may continue to buy and sell grandfathered guns (must have been registered by the time of prohibition) amongst each other, but due to changing regulations, can no longer transport them to and from a range, which was the only place they could go to be shot.
Sound confusing? Just wait until you guys south of the border re-elect a Clinton to the whitehouse and you'll be able to know of our dilemnas firsthand.
