Portuguese FN FAL PICS Added

Location
Manitoba. Canada
This FAL is from my personal collection, a few bruises on the furniture but metal finish is super, I used to shoot her and she was always a favorite. This is the only Portuguese contract rifle I have ever seen, she is something of a rare bird in Canada. I need to raise funds for another purchase so I have reluctantly decided to sell her. Very clear Coat-of-arms of Portugal on the mag housing. Photos to follow ASAP or e-mail me direct at John@wolverinesupplies.com. She is prohibited so can be deactivated if required. No returns if deactivated. $1,850.00. Private sale so no tax.

Heck if I had the funds I'd rather pay for you to keep it than possibly have it deactivated. Be a damn shame. Really hope it goes to a 12(5) holder.
 
I wonder if Arm&Gun (CDN YouTuber) has a 12(5), he would definitely be able to afford it. Agree with btabin, if the only party interested is going to have it deactivated, do something like start a Go-Fund-Me and we will raise the money for you to be able to keep it.
 
What are the current requirements to deactivate? I don't want to do it to a rifle like this with history, but I dream of a Para FAL one day, and unfortunately, I was a kid when these laws were passed.

####/click/welded barrel/removable magazine? Or is it literally welded to death?

Who verifies it, a verifier or the RCMP?

Thanks,

Bradley

Country to what a lot of people will tell you there are only some policy adversary guide line for deactivation. Wolverine is approved to deactivate firearms, it is a clause added to our Firearms Business Licence. We do the work in house send the prescribed form to the RCMP and wait for their letter of approval, a copy of which we keep and a copy goes with the firearm. Approval can take from 2 days to 8 weeks, it is normally about 2 to 4 weeks.

As firearm actions and construction varies then so does our deactivation. Typically for a FAL the barrel will be pinned and welded to the receiver. The bolt face cut off at 45 degrees. The sear and hammer removed and the pins welded in place. The upper receiver is welded to the lower. We make welds as discreet as possible. in this case the action can be cycled the bolt catch and mag catch will still operate. The trigger and safety will move but not do anything. Mag will be removable.
 
John, do you know where it came from what’s “her” story?

Likely from one of the Portuguese colonies in old Africa, I’m betting.

Would be a shame to deactivate.

I'm almost certain he doesn't :( but im sure he can tell you if he sees this thread
 
What a crime that the right arm of the free world has to be cut off or immobilized. This firearm and many like it fought and guarded us from tyranny and oppression. It really burns my azz that there are not enough of these rifles and hard men to stand up once again and put the Communists on parliament hill to the fire.

She is still here, open to reasonable offers.
 
Damn she is a nice one, it sucks having 12(5) and not being able to afford a beauty like this. :(
Hopefully someone is able to buy it intact, because it would really suck to have to deactivate it.

If this gun doesn't find a 12(5) home and we have 17 more people willing to do the same, I will donate $100 so that you can have it.

Wolverine, please keep this in mind and an eye on other people joining in my offer.

Lets save this baby from deactivation.

Youza.
