The prohibited firearms are classed 12(2 through 7). 2 is full auto, 3 is converted auto. The .25, .32 and under 105mm barrelled pistols are 12(6). If you go to the CFC website, you can see the list. www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca.
hedgehog is right, I agree that it is a shame to scrap one, although unless the law changes there isn't much future for one. Now that SAPs (a sort of ATT for prohib. longarms) are gone, there is no way to even shoot one on a range.
Current dewats are welded solid, no moving parts, with the bolts ruined before being welded solid. It might be possible to find an older dewat. It would #### and click, the boltface would be ruined, there would be a pin through the receiver and chamber, welded in place, the trigger mechanism might be welded for semi only, and there will be welding to prevent disassembly. Very few parts could be salvaged, and the important ones will be ruined.
A PPSh would be an interesting project, but more challenging than a Sten type firearm. The PPSh is one of the more historic firearms of the 20th century.
