My FNC1 clone, minus the Canadian body cover, which I had and lost a long time ago.

yes I shot her but I can't remember the last time I did, it's been that long. She sits next to my M1A and M305 shorty and she is unfortunately a safe queen. Even though the only difference is a pistol grip on the FN. The only time she gets to go anywhere is when I move.

Very nice... I too have an FN-C1 clone. It's a BSA L1A1 outfitted with every piece of C1 furniture and part I could find back in the day when such things were common. Like yours, it's a safe queen. I was able to shoot it a bit before the Prohib rules cut in...maybe again, someday.
Mine is a genuine C.A.L. 8L-series FN C1A1 rifle that was formerly issued to the OPP ERT way back in the 1860s and 70s. Those rifles were sold off to SIDEM Inc in the UK, a major surplus arms dealer back in the early 1980s when the OPP upgraded it's ERT rifles to carbines. SIDEM remarked the rifles with British proof marks on the underside of the barrel, thus making them no longer Canadian Government property and eligible for importation as (initially Non-Restricted rifles. Peter Wilke of Ontario Gun and Tackle imported several hundred of the SIdem Canadian FN C1A1s back into Canada in the early to mid-1980s. Here is mine:

Wow!
Brings back memories of range day.
Your pieces are in way better shape then the ones we had to shoot.
Very nice collection!

If with C-71 owners of CZ-858 and Swiss Arms are allowed to take their Prohibs to the range, it opens a case for owners of 12-5.
