FN dewat
Rob,
I know the one,but wouldn't have the heart to deactivate it if I can own it live.Maybe one day they will issue us permits again to take them to the range and shoot them!Not holding my breath though. Derk.

If anyone has a deactivated SMG C1 or an FNC1A1 (even good Ishapore lookalikes) I would be ineterested in buying them to equip my M38A1.
When I was at the CFC everyone agreed that the restrictions on taking 12-x to the range made no sense. We just couldn't convince the powers that be (on the political side) that this should be changed as the numbers involved were so small.

As for a sterling, either British or Canadian, that is a little tougher. There is a semi auto restricted only sterling on the site now, but it runs a little over $6K. A dewat of a British sterling will usually start at $1200, but are far and few between. A dewat of the Cdn C1 SMG is nearly impossible to find. Stens, on the other hand, are a dime a dozen. Enough years have passed that many guys cannot tell the difference.

I just picked up an Indian 1A1 off Gunnutz a couple of weeks ago for $400. Just need the C1 rear sight and carrying handle. What is the difference with the flash eliminator? Mine fits a C1 bayonet just fine.

Thanks Rob. I haven't handled a C1A1 since 1988 so.... couldn't quite pick that detail out. Although I do recognize that the butt stock is slightly different where it attaches to the receiver, but only after I looked at an old photo.

The butt is the part that really gives it away once the top cover and the rear sight are changed. I have tried to change the lower receiver (trigger housing) on Ishapores to better accommodate the Cdn butt, however the two are a poor match. It is possible, with a little fitting, to change just the buttstock.
My own feelings on it are that by the time you tart up an Ishapore with all the Cdn fixings, you might as well have just bought a C1 in the first place. There are still hundreds of them live in the country, you just need to hunt around a bit. Dressing up an Ishapore is like taking your sister to the prom....she might be pretty, but she aint a real date.
