does anyone know if the Canadian Govt has dumped the C1 version of the FN FAL on the market yet? now that I live in a country where I can own one I wouldn't mind picking one up (sentimental reasons)

No, unfortunately, and you won't either; the Liberals are quite happy to cut all the C1s into little tiny pieces just to show how serious they are about "saving lives".
 
oh Goddess say it ain't so! they didn't really do that did they? I've been waiting 15 years to get my hands on one again.....

Get on FAL Files and read the FAQ's, and get on the forums.

Don't know what the Canadian gubmint has done with the majority of the C-1's, but melted for scrap seems likely. There have been some kits around. I lean metric myself, so not up on C-1's.
 
Rumour has it that they're not chopped up, just
boxed in grease at the depots along with the Sterling
SMG's, for 'war stocks'. What we would possibly
stock them for is questionable, but they are most
likely thinking along the lines of equipping a
third-world ally for free, along the lines of the
Brits in Sierra Leone did with L1A1's. It is also
free to toss them in the bottom of the bins, but
it would cost money to cut them up.

If you're interested in an issue FNC1A1, I was once
told by an RKI that the only legitimate ex-military
weapons floating around the market are weapons given
to police agency Emergency Response Teams, and
then sold by police agencies when they upgraded to
AR-15 and Remington models. As such, the price is
fairly high. Good hunting!
