Hi Lee,
I can get the left and right L straps here in Winnipeg brand new if you need a set.There used to be boxes of brand new unopened 51 pattern webbing but somebody must have showed up and bought it all years ago.There are just the L straps left.I will have another look around just to make sure.Are you interested in completing a full set of webbing?
If you are in Calgary,look up Ribtors warehouse if it is still around,they also had a bunch of 51 patt. webbing.Not too many of us out there interested in the post war webbing.
Regards,Derk.

yes, I am interested in completing a full set of the webbing, and if I ever get a chance to be in calgary, I'll defiantly have a look (currently reside in bc).

I'd love to grab those L straps, but alas I am short on cash at the moment, going on a trip in a few days but I'll get back to you on this, you too ed.

Also, question about the canteen, Is the gasket inside cork, as the US model it was based on or is it rubber?

Derk, is your FN C1A1 live? I would love to see more of that great rifle. It's a shame that I'll never get to add one to my collection.

Lee,
I will pick up a set for you when I am there,last time I bought a set,they were a $1.00ea. and if you decide you don't need them,I will throw them in my pile of webbing!

Steve,
Looks can be deceiving,that is actually an Indian Ishapore FN with all of the Canadian parts on it to make it look like an FNC1A1.I bought 8 of them years ago when Checkmate sports went out of business and deactivated them all for my vehicle and webbing displays.I also bought a heavy barrel and made an FNC2A1 version.I display the FN's in my 5/4 ton with the Sterling SMG which is a British L4A2.I wish the Government would have had a deactivation program for all of the surplus FNC1 and C2 rifles and the Sterlings so that collectors would have been able to keep a part of the Canadian Military's cold war era equipment history to display and preserve for the future.They also would have probably recovered all of their money they spent buying them back in the 1950's!But melting them down seemed to be the logical thing to do.I do have one of the Ishapore FN's live and with all of the Canadian parts.The rear sight,carry handle,flash suppresor,wood grips and top cover.Having one means I can buy a Canadian FN (12-5) but they have to sit in the locked gun case never to see daylight so what is the use to spend the extra money if a person can't take it to the range and target shoot.Oh well!
Regards,Derk.

You could always buy a Canadian FN and dewat it. I plan on deactivating another Cdn FNC1A1 when I get home in a few months. I think you know the one Derk.

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.
