I get to shoot one at my own whim in the service once a year at least sometimes more in my current location/posting.
It may very well be the last functional/operational FN C1 in the CAF but it's there and put to use.
I won't say more than that on here.

That being said, I'll take my M14 any day over the FAL.
Trigger break and pull, trigger slap, accuracy, mag release and felt recoil/follow up shots are 100% better with the M14 but that's just first hand personal preference I guess.
Would take the M14 any day now after firing both extensively and recently. But would still love to own both regardless if that makes any sense.
Bartrok,
If the offer still stands, I would buy you a Tims card of a weeks worth of coffee just to fondle that AR10 mate!
I just need to find time to get to the city with personal time to spare.

there are quite a few c1's in vaults in the cf. every year i bump into a few.
 
I knew you can’t go buy one today and that you need a prohibited license.....I was unsure if at some point they said in order to keep the FA that it had to be converted.....thanks nutz!

I had a gun dealer permit and possessed a Mac 10 full auto, the law changed around 92 - 93 so I converted it to semi so I could keep it, most of the 12(3) came into Canada already converted to semi and were sold a either restricted or non restricted. My AR-10 was a converted full auto when I bought it and was sold as non restricted, it was my deer hunting rifle, but the law changed and it became prohibited

There is no wood on this AR-10. They were never made with wood, if you see that it is replacement furniture.

Correct, the Portuguese AR10s had no wood. However, a good many of the Transitional AR10s had wooden forearms because the molds and resins were not yet perfected. These wooden handguards were hand carved and most are signed by the guy that made them. Later Transitional AR10s had various resin and composite handguards.

Below is a typical Transitional AR10 and you might notice that the handguard retaining ring is made of steel, rather than aluminum. However, most Transitional AR10s did not have a bayonet lug as shown below.

The gun is in the US so it is not really a "prohib". I can take it to the range, or even use it to hunt goats in certain states.

I have a ca g 3 rifle and you want strong shoulders to shoot it as the recoil is rather strong and after going through a few clips your shoulder will be a bit sore.
 
Thanks for sharing those pics. Brought back some memories of firing the FNC1 in the military back in the late 80s. They were really well worn by that time, but they were sure fun to shoot. Its a real shame that its so difficult to be able to fire them.
 
I had the opportunity to shoot prohib FNs & M14s in Canada that belonged to friends, until they were prohibited from taking them to the range... no more SAPs
Unfortunately though, I'm unable to own such a rifle myself
My date of birth meant I was too young to get in the 12.### categories
Sadly having a PAL for over a decade, my military service, and no criminal record all count for nothing in this country
You guys who have these rifles are very fortunate, and looking at these pics makes me green with envy
Hopefully all of Canada's anti-gun silliness ends soon so our younger generations can learn something of responsibility and history by owning these firearms themselves
