VZ58 in 7.62x51 is possible if there is enough interest.

I thought they weren't importing any 58's anymore and a new model was being made just for Canada ?

Correct me if I'm wrong but in order to run 5.45x39 all you would need is a new barrel. If that is the case 5.45x39 makes the most sense because you would not need to redesign the whole gun..

The 5.45x39 has a smaller rim diameter than the 7.62... 10mm compared to 11.35mm. It's not a necked down version of the 7.62... What would be cool is if they built a VZ in 6.5 Grendel and had a built in AR mag adapter.

6.5 Grendel would be pretty sweet too.

Too bad these aren't as easy to build/mod as the AR platform.

Why? So, you can shoot expensive hand loaded ammo at 3MOA?

Wolf ammo and an AK to boot is hold 2moa at 550 yards.....with a 4x scope.

The B.S is strong here

Great idea! I want to get a Saiga 12gauge so badly but it's a prohibited AK variant in Canada.

A VZ58 in 12gauge is a genius idea, make it compatible with Saiga mags, which are very plentiful stateside - in all sizes, even drums, and you've got a hands down winner.

I'd pay, $1000 - $1200 for one. I think this has even more sales potential than the .proposed .308 version, so far as I know there is no mag fed semi auto shotgun on the canadian market.

Just look at how popular Saigas are in the US, this is an untapped market here - business 101, supply and demand.

Sooo true! That's a great idea!
I would be buying one of these 7.62x51 if they came out tho

I would like to see a 7.62xnato VZ with a heavy barrel

[Jesuswon]

[canadiansurvivor]

Ooooooh, good idea, VZ 58 Box magfed 12 guage is my vote ha-ha I know I just posted 7.62 short only.... But hadn't thought of this!
