That's a great question! Seems something is up with North Sylva... perhaps all the quality control issues with the 5.56 short barrel rifles is slowing things up? From what I've read on CGN the 5.56 shorty vz 58 is garbage! I haven't heard any negatives regarding any of the 7.62x39 models besides the mag well mod being a jamming machine. I wonder why they just don't manufacture a whole bunch of the original and reliable 7.62x39 rifles, carbines, and shortys? Seems that there is a steady demand for them.....
