For Sale: Dewat L1A1

[r.morrison]

Gentlemen: Thanks for your input on the L1A1. The gun was used in the movies, so me thinks details were not a priority.

Dan, clone a Brit L1A1 ... change the necessary parts, do a phosphate refinish?

Personally, I have always equated trying to tart up a British/Auz/Ishapore rifle into a Canadian Look-a-like as dressing up your sister and taking her to the prom. She might look good, but you aren't getting anything afterwards.



I ordered my first Cdn C1A1 from collectors source a couple of decades back. I think it was $850. I have watched the price of C1s climb to the point now where they seem to be in the $2500 to $3500 range. My Cdn collection of FNs is as complete as I want to get it, with an EX1, EX2, C1A1, C1A1 (8L series....4th last rifle produced) and a C2A1. All are deactivated, but thems the rules for non-grandfathered owners. I also have a C1A1 that is still live residing with a licensed owner, and have not had the heart to have it deactivated yet.

In my opinion Rob and after years of shooting from the hip and buying everything in sight , i am sticking to Canadian stuff now. We should be prouder of what we have produced in quantity and in quality . Canadian stuff is certainly worth the premium being asked in my mind .
