Why not toss the whole thing? or remove the cannon and toss it one way, the side plate another, and the frame a third?

Takes way less time and serves the same purpose; though it is a stretch to see any real purpose in "disabling" a weapon.

How about this scenario:
Given to a kid to play with after the war(with sear bar removed),
lost in the woods for years. Found as we see it.

Don your concept is plausible, but my "tool" for removing the sear spring is my fingernail! it is what I have always used. I simply catch the spring under the curl on the end with my index fingernail and lift and it comes right out. Once the spring is removed, and toggle is locked back over the empty magazine, I would bet that the sear bar would drop out pretty easily.
