Any chances of this semi auto UK-59 being imported to Canada?

Link brings up nothing

Works fine for me? Looks like a fun gun but i'm sure it would be limited to a 5 round belt as it was designed in the mid to late 50's?

Link says "site not found" for me but it would be very cool. Almost like the Czech LMG

New link, should be working just copy and paste and remove spaces

 

[JasonGTA]

I thought if it was disinigrating link it was at 5, but with links that hold together it is unlimited

 

[msnacks]

dam i would love one even with the 5 round belt

 

[Ar180shooter]

You're looking at $5k+ for one of those.

What belt does it use? Some stuff from that era utilized the links designed for the Goryunov SG-43.

if I recall correctly-another forum sponsor went down this road a couple years ago-only to have it re-classified AFTER they had the merch. in-country...

 

[Deckard]

Marstar was importing but they screwed him. They actually started harassing VZ-58 importers over 58 types years before this CZ/Swiss thing. In any case, all classification announcements are due the day after we see a Liberal majority.

 

[Speckfire]

Correct me if I'm wrong Deckard, didn't the RCMP say that they were not issuing FRTs for it when Marstar wanted to bring them in?

 

[Deckard]

Yes, for a semi version.

 

[JasonGTA]

Thats around what most of the belt feds are going for

 

[tiriaq]

I do not think that that gun is the same as Marstar's project.

 

[Curtton]

I recall ordering one from marstar for approx $2000.

this one north of $5000 , I will pass.

 

[Deckard]

It was $2000 or so.

Hard to tell from that picture, but if it can use the same belts as a PK/PKM, then you can use Maxim belts or SG-43 Goryunov belts. Certainly old enough to qualify.

UK59 is straight feed so PKM belts will not work
