    Thanks. The magazine well must be modified then.

    It looks like the breech block is welded to the receiver. Is that how guns are deactivated there?

    That's just one way to do it. That could be here for that matter, it's one way we did it at one time. I never saw a deactivated gun in Cyprus, they were all live.
