I have to shake my head at times. In Great Britain where to my understanding firearms are very difficult to obtain, Deactivated automatic weapons are freely sold. Just do a quick search in Google and see.
In the US they where firearms flourish, Deactivated automatics are still easily and cheaply obtianed.
But in Canada where we have a plethora of laws in the way we store and handle firearms and can legaly collect/own most firearms, deactivated automatic weapons,(not even considered a firearm) it is extremely difficult to find one let alone in a reasonable condition. And goodness gracious what if it was never a fire arm but looked like one!
Aparantly not that long ago it was relatively easy to obtain from the UK and the States. Were they a problem? I never heard of any! Oh well I will keep looking!
(Sorry about the rant.

, sometimes stupiity doesthat to me)
