DEWATs

[nithburg]

I've been seeing some cool DEWATS up for sale lately (Brens, MP40's, etc...) Real MG's with welded up chambers etc... so they cant fire.

Supposedly you can buy one without a 12.6, or any other gun license.

If this is the case then can someone explain to me why a replica of one of these guns would be considered a prohibited device, but a real one rendered inoperative is OK?

lol.....welcome to Canada.

That said, dewats can be worth having...an aquaintence of mine has a dewat FNC2 built like an FNC1 (one of the original "toolroom" protoypes) that he bought from an estate sale a couple decades ago.....I've been trying to buy it off and on forever, but he wants gobs of money for it Maybe I'll just buy an MP5 instead.
