I must admit to some surprize at the number of views, over 7,600 and posts, over132 in one working day. I have been keeping an eye on this and reading all the comments with interest. I had planned on keeping silent but due to your support I will throw out a little more info on what we have planned right now:

Caliber: The CZ 958 will only be offered in 7.62x39, I have committed to selling the full output from Bruno for several years, there will not be the production time to consider other calibers. This receiver size will not handle .308 cartridges.
Cost: My aim is to keep the cost as low as possible, she will not be as cheap as the famed CZ858, our target is under $1,000 Canadian.
Mags: the CZ 958 will use standard CZ 858 mags.
Mag adapter: I am hoping that the B&T mag well adapter will be a drop in modification, time will tell.
Stocks etc: The first run may feature "Canadian Wood" no promises, time will tell. The intent is that all CZ 858 accessories, stocks etc. will fit.
Chrome barrels: Yes I know the million dollar question, if possible barrels will be chromed but it will put up the price as we are talking about new 18.6 inch barrels (To keep her non restricted) There may not be the option for chrome lined barrels if the manufactures capability is already tied up with other production.
Delivery time; Unknown right now, I will not plan anything to delay production and deliveries but we still have a long way to go.

Next photos: We saw the pre-production samples last year, they were super! Our samples have been finished this week, I will post photos when I have them in my hands. We still have lots of work, lots of trials and test firing have to be fitted in to a very hectic work schedule and all the technical data has to be prepared for submission. I also have to visit Bruno to co-ordinate all the last details. Life is hectic, but not complaining.

Thanks for the support and remember I am reading all your comments.

very cool - excited to see more pictures as that will be my deciding factor to purchase!

hope these are finished in solid black, and not the cz blue-grey colour, or if you do grey make sure it's a nice grey like the jack carbine/etc.

not sure if it would be possible or not, but i personally would be interested in a barrel with an integrated flash hider to shorten the length a few inches
 
Let us all hope the 958 does NOT have the problem the other rifles had with cracking bolts!

Awesome work Mr Wolv.!
 
Thanks for undertaking this project. It sounds like a win, win, win on all points you mentioned above.
What appears to look like a fixed optic rail for holding zero adds extra icing to the cake.:)
I'm in.
 
So just to clarify, this isn't a straight pull bolt action is it?

:nest: :stirthepot2:

Kidding aside this looks like a great thing in the making. Never owned an 858 but this looks very tempting based on what I see so far!

I say don't worry about chrome barrels. It seriously makes no difference, if you're so ####ty at cleaning your gun that your barrel rusts from shooting milsurp then your gas system is probably pretty much done at that point anyway. No reason to drive up costs just because a bunch of chrome barrel fanboys
 
Thank you for this project.

I would say, that taking one of the most reliable rifles and adding features that compromise it's ability to grind through cases of decades old surplus ammo would be a crime.

The VZ 858 rifles run. Don't #### with that.

Speak for yourself, if they can fit in chrome lining then why not? It's important to me and many others, it blows my mind how people are so condescending to those requesting what should be a standard feature for a rifle in the 1k price point and in this caliber.

I am not worried about chrome :)
If it has one, then great, if not, oh well. Will not put a damper on my excitement or stop me from buying one. I have early SKS's without chrome lined barrel and they do very well :)

Good Job Wolverine! Can't wait until we can order :)

Chrome bores: If we can we will but I want to keep the price down, and I can not afford any delays as we have not sold a CZ 858 for over a year!

Except that he's trying to keep it below 1k and we're condescending because it's a feature that doesn't friggin matter. Do you worry about teflon linings being on the pistons of your car/trucks engine, or do you just do your damn oil changes and trust that it's going to last a long time anyway? If you clean your gun after shooting milsurp, you will have no problem. If you don't, you will have more problems than just the barrel rusting. I've had to pound the gas piston out of an SKS with a very decent barrel before, no amount of chrome barrel lining saved that from happening.
