For Sale: Dewat L1A1

[r.morrison]

Good evening/morning/afternoon all. Hoping this entry finds everyone and their families Covid Free and in good health. Been doing some "cleaning of the closets" lately and have a number of DEWATS to clear out. First one is an FN L1A1 with wood furniture. Not all serial numbers match.The unit is in very good shape. the deactivation leaves the unit wit no movable parts with the exception of a removable magazine, which has been pinned. Included with the dewat are a CDN Mag pouch and a very hard to find CDN sling. No licence required to purchase or own. For sale in Canada only.
If you require anymore photos, please PM me.

Many thanks and have great week....Robert

Nice Rifle. Is that a Canadian rifle? It appears to be the same spec as the Australian L1A1 (or is it Lithgow made?) They were the issue rifle when I was in(the N.Z. Army)
There is a wee place in my heart for them.

It is a British made example, as evidenced by the UE prefix to the serial number. If it was a Cdn example, it would be about 3 times that price.



A Canadian example would not have the sand channels on the bolt carrier, would have a disc type rear sight, and a non-ribbed carry handle. The nomenclature would include C1(A1) and it would have an L in the serial number (format of 0L1234).

Australian examples have AD prefix serial, with a 7 digit number, the first 2 digits being the year, eg AD6412345

Also a removable trigger guard for mitten-clad fingers.

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

No, it's an British Enfield. Almost as good as a Lithgow.
