Stencollector, I notice the EX1 is already marked as a DP. Was if fully functional when purchased?

I understand why you did what you had to do, but dewatting live guns makes baby Jesus cry...

It had the copper coating on the bolt and carrier. I never did check to see if the firing pin protruded. They were supposed to be cut back on DP rifles. Otherwise the rifle would have been functional.

It now has a blind pin welded through the chamber, the face of the bolt has been ground away, and the bolt is not removeable from the upper receiver.

Around 1800 of the EX1 and EX2s went to the smelter a few years back with the Canadian Forces. Some were held for military museums. Baby Jesus likely didn't notice one more. Besides, if there was a God, he wouldn't let Liberals put in useless laws that result in the destruction of historical artifacts.
