FN C1 A1 Sniper Scope cover

Given up building one here, it would be easier to get a unicorns horn than a C1A1 reciver and TMH!

The odd time a deactivation shows up on market here...for sale.

I've never even seen a deac here Jim, the only partial example I've seen (except the live Warminster examples) was a complete C1A1 TMH and woodwork on a mix master deactivated L1A1.

I was going to buy it purely for the C1A1 back end, but it sold before I had the chance.

I can keep an eye out, now day specially there may be one appears...it would still be $1000/$1200 CDN I expect. It would likely be welded solid too...

[mrclark303]

Appreciated Jim, unfortunately sending such a piece to the UK would be nigh on impossible these days unfortunately.

It's a gap in my inch pattern collection that's highly unlikely ever to be filled..

Due to the international situation conspiring against all of us collecting such things, stunning collections like Kev's are beyond us now.

[browningautorifle]

K, so it remains a collection of parts...maybe one will drop into your hands yet.

[mrclark303]

I can but hope Jim!

The last C1A1 dewats that I have seen sell in Canada were in the $2800 to $3300 range. With the impending gun ban and gun buyback here in Canada, there may be more coming up if the governments offered price is not up to standard.

[mrclark303]

I didn't realise Canada was heading for yet another ban guys?

What's on the agenda this time?

[browningautorifle]

another ban

Can't talk too much without crossing the political line...they intend to ban all "Assault" weapons, perhaps confiscate all AR15 platforms and Mini 14 types. Perhaps prohibit handguns at a provincial or city by city level. We don't know too much as they are keeping it a secret until they spring it. They have said they don't want to spur a "Buying frenzy"... They also speak of a buyback but it will be dimes on dollars. We just know there's more encroachment coming. You could actually find it online pretty easily and likely learn as much as we actually know.

[mrclark303]

I'll Google Jim, quite right, don't want to infringe the rules....
