Deactived Firearms, AK74, Thompson & 2 FN's

If I really had to hand my firearms over to the police for destruction, I would definitely prefer contributing it to a museum like the War Museum or fairly new Historical Arms Museum, at least there they'll likely be better kept and maintained

Absolutely but museums only have so much space so they cant and wont take everything. And not everything a museum gets is displayed, the majority is put into archives here nobody can enjoy it without special apointment.

As i said id rather they cut the be and let us own machineguns again but deactivation or museum donation are much better options than total destruction. Its a sad situation to be sure.

I'm curious about the term "dewat", I get the "de" but can't figure out what the "wat" is all about...

Love to have an FN, beautifully executed firearm.

Still remember war games at Shilo where we clipped a restrictor on the end of the muzzle so that the action would cycle with blanks. Staff Sgt. told us that sometimes the restrictor comes off and it would hurt the "target". That was the biggest danger that we faced - so different than the real thing.

Good thing that Thompson's a dewat or else I would have to buy it ?

Yeah man, I wish I had the ability to own a functional one, easily the most fun full auto I’ve ever shot. If anyone’s going to Vegas, Texas, Arizona or anywhere else you can rent one I’d highly recommend it.

That will not happen, unless they are welded up they will not want them.
To bad when you can sell a piece of wall art for way more than the working ones, Ie that one is a A1A, should be a 4-500.oo gun, the other, black looks to be a L1A1 great Briton
