Default C1's, c2's

I remember well the EX's from jump school, man were they beat up. More than a few parts fell off mine.

We were one of the last units to get the C7's (even though they are made here in our hometown) - what a difference from the C1. I prefferred the iron sights, but maybe that's because bi-focals and optics don't mix well.

A few years back I had the chance to shoot a C2 in a section competition for re-enactment units. Ser no was 0La002.

I broke it.

The owner didn't mind much though - said he'd be welding it up soon anyway.

Dewat Ishy FN's generally sell for anywhere between $300 to $400. L1A1's command a higher price, something in the order of $500 - $600, and C1A1's (if you can find one) go for more than that. I am always shopping for a cheaper dewat Indian FN to tart up as a C1A1 for display in my M38A1 (whenever I get it done). I'd love to get a real C1A1, but I can't justify the cost to just have it rattling around in my jeep, plus I would always be worried about someone stealing it.

BTW Rob, very nice collection!

Default Ishapores in Canada

Log on to canadiangunnutz dot com and start prowling. There are 59,000 members on that forum. Someone will have one for sale. Any seller will have to have it deactivated before shipping. Expect to pay for that on top of the purchase.
