I seriously doubt that statement. By now they would have been broken down for parts kits and sold that way. Our laws aren't going to get easier any time soon in that area. Those that have them can't even take them out to shoot. No one would sit on immovable rifles.
I'll admit it sounded puzzling to me too...C1A1 parts kits (or even individual parts) would find a ready and eager market in the States. About the only reason I could think of for sitting on immovable rifles is not wanting to take the loss on the books.

When you say that you can't take an L1A1 out to shoot it BAR, does that mean exactly what it says..........? Not OUT or not OUT to shoot it? What happens if you had your own, say, 200 metre range that was on your farm?
Does it mean that you can OWN and POSSESS an L1A1 but not use it?

The weapons are not allowed to leave storage. Not outside. Not to be fired. Our laws.

Woweeeee, that is a severe condition.
Reminds me of a Mauser collector in the UK
whom I know in passing who after a lot of tooing and froing and taking things to 'on high' was granted authority to add one of the automatic schnellfuer pistol to his collection. But the conditions attached to his 'possession' are soooooooo strict! A bit like BAR describes the Canadian L1A1's. He can possess but virtually nothing else

Best part is that aside from not being able to shoot them, you have your mags blocked to 5 rounds...picture it in your minds eye???

I've got lots of milled C1 mag catches and early C1 "beehive" body lock levers if anyone's in need. Plus a sprinkling of other parts. Just ask with your needs and I'll be glad to have a look. I have a fantastic reproduction C1A1 with an early Enterprise receiver and Australian barrel in the early 1990's that I still have and shoot. Bruce Dow in Florida installed the barrel and it's an absolute tack driver.

That's like being allowed to live with a Playboy centerfold model, but you can't take her out on the town, let alone....
