Can't think of a better gun to show of in a sub dedicated to Canadian owned firearms and the Canadian firearms community than this.

Haven’t they been decommissioned and sent to the scrappers by the DND due to age?

Yes and due to the CF/DND policy of NOT selling surplus firearms to the civilian market. That being said, if properly maintained and unless there is a serious metallurgical structural issue a firearms like the HP can last a very, very long time.
