    Totally unknown how much mags would cost. If this happens and the mags are a proprietary design, I'd imagine they'd be on the spendy side until a lot are made. If they use M14 mags, then they'll cost the same as M14 mags do nowadays I'd assume.

    You say that, but people will start buying up M14 mags like the dickens and prices will go up.

    Remember what happened to FAL mags when the RFB was announced?

    Just look at how popular Saigas are in the US, this is an untapped market here - business 101, supply and demand.
    Drool! That would be awesome in so many ways.

    Chrome barrel it, make it accept AICS mags. Make some 20 Rounds AICS mag. Make lots of money.

    Please thread the muzzle to take AR10 muzzle devices. Also, the ability to use commonly available mags would be nice.

    edit - I also like the idea of a Vz. in 12ga. Would definitely buy one of those too.
    edit 2 - I guess threading it to take AKM muzzle devices would make a bit more sense. It would allow a lot more choices for muzzle brakes and flash suppressors.

    Possibly one in 5.45 if the ammunition is approved?
