If he is worried about de-valuing it, do not cut it in half. That will de-value it a lot more than whatever level of deactivation they want.
I have more than a few half M72s. I'll trade him 4 halves for a Whole one, provided the whole one has a bunch of holes drilled in the tube along the bottom, and a rod epoxied in place somewhere along the bore.
These days, an M72 launcher in one piece (but demilled to some tasteful degree) is worth between $450 to around $600.
During the recent election campaign, the PM indicated the plan was to either buy back or else deactivate at government expense. More recently, the outline of the plan from IBM includes setting values based on pre-ban sales prices, and there being an arbitration element to account for accessories or options. They are now under 6 months to implement this plan..they better get moving.
