Rebarreled 858 in .22

[supernova]

ballpark pricerange? cost would be the key with cheap 7.62 surplus

9mm would be a scream

I'd be in for one... I'm gonna buy a sr22 for the farm so why not a cz858.22?

we would be milling a whole new reciever. No VZ's would be hurt or injured in the process.

Are you going to do this before or after you do the 9mm carbine?

Make a pump action vz58 in 762x39 and do up some magazines.
And see what happens. hint hint. Or maybe a vz58 Pistol?

Doesn't quite work that way. This has been tried with other restricted platforms, and the result was not positive.

Clobber.. Totally different with the AR being restricted by name. If one was to make a pump 18.5" barrel 858 there should not be a problem. As I remember it was the way Remington marketed their rifle.

And I think the Dlask pump used a standard AR lower, so class did not change.

So do this one in 9mm and we have the best of both
I would buy 2.One for each hand

By all means go ahead and try to get it approved. The FRT Lab in Ottawa have proven time and time again that they will do what suits them, not what the law allows. Do some research in black rifles and in Wolverine's (the site dealer/sponsor) forums and see what the result was for trying to produce a pistol mag for the TP9. Even though there is a full pistol version of that carbine available in the US.

Why don't you just buy a 22lr ak lookalike?

Like a Krinker Plinker.

I am aware of the TP9 mag issue. As I recall Wolverine chose not to pursue legal action on the mag cap.. not that there was no basis to fight.

I agree that the classification situation is off the leash and should be reigned in ASAP.

I also agree a manufacturer bringing a new black/green/red firearm to the Canadian market better have deep pockets for all the roadblocks.

How about a simple "kit" (ala ar15 kit) for the NEW 5.56 58's? These rifles are even going to be able to accept AR mags!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd be ALL OVER IT!
