I asked in another post - it's x54R.
If it was x51, you'd sell a TON more, but I'm guessing a rimless cartridge would require some extra engineering and cost.

Olegs69, John means that the VZ-59 is available in 7.62 NATO, 12.x full auto from what he has in stock in Canada. Sounds like they aren't making new 7.62 NATO semi auto receivers. Correct me if I am wrong John. 7.62x54R or nothing.
John, what is the law on new semi autos that are fed from a belt? I thought there was some pre 1945 law?
#2. This is the only one that RobAK posted that would interest me. I already have the regular VZ-58 and would only want to go shorter as it is only a range gun for me. Do you like the bright stainless (?) gas block on a black gun?
The longer barrelled ones that Palinak posted above don't really do anything for me as they aren't exactly sniper rifles. AFAIK anyways.
This is the first time I've seen modern furniture on a VZ-58 that actually looks like it could be OEM not after market stuff. I'm not sure about the rubber on the standard folder butt but it might be OK if seen in person.
Is that a 20 round mag? I thought there was only 10 and 30s. Looks OK.
Will the standard muzzle brakes fit #2? Screw on and lock?
Any chance of getting a factory made bolt with the handle on the left side or even both sides? It would be a lot faster for me when changing mags every 5 rounds...

Very, very nice. I'll take two of them.

The current ones he has are full auto - the ones he gets next year will be semi only. Should be non-restricted based on barrel length.
The only problem now it going to be sourcing 54R at a reasonable price.
2K is a ton of money, but how many people on here can currently own a belt fed? It's worth it for that alone!
