I hope you're right! The VZ58 style safety would have my money in a heart beat. I've never been a fan of the SKS having a similar action next to the trigger. Add a solid wood stock and I'll be drooling. Plus it looks like it may open the door to an ambi safety as the pin appears on the right side. Take my money! That rear sight may need some modification though..
I sure hope so too, I prefer it as well.
