Ceská Zbrojovka 858 Tactical 2 and 4 rifles

In 2005, the RCMP identified the CZ858 as non-restricted (in the case of longer barreled versions) or restricted (in the case of shorter barrel versions) based upon manufacturer provided information that was subsequently confirmed by a physical inspection of samples at that time. FRT records were generated and the firearms were subsequently permitted to be imported, registered and sold in Canada.

In March 2013, the RCMP inspected and provided an expert opinion on the classification of a series of CZ858 proof marked 2007 or later. Following an internal review, the RCMP determined that at some point in 2007, the CZ858 rifles being imported into Canada differed from the inspected version and were in fact fully automatic firearms that had been converted to be semi-automatic firearms, rather than being the semi-automatics purported by the exporter. Converted fully automatic firearms are prohibited firearms under the Code given the possibility that they can be converted to fully automatic. Fully automatic firearms pose a significant public safety threat given their fast reloading action and their ability to discharge multiple shots each time the trigger is pulled. On February 26, 2014, the RCMP determined that the CZ858s were in fact prohibited firearms.

The Canada Border Services Agency estimates more than 8 700 CZ858 rifles have been imported into Canada. There are 406 formerly restricted CZ858 rifles in Canada and 423 formerly non-restricted CZ858 rifles registered in Quebec based upon registration data. The estimated value of these firearms is between $500 and $1,000 each.

This phrase from the mouths of our law conjurers still makes me shake my head... you can say it can be converted, but that just doesn't make it so. It is just as easily converted to an espresso machine. It would be easier to build a fresh receiver from scratch than to reconvert to original.

Imagine that, a range only espresso machine.... huh....

I finally recieved a letter back from Steven Blaney's office today about the introduction of "the Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act." I sent dozens and dozens of letters to various Members of parliament and this was the first response letter.

Ditto. Form letter espousing Bill C42.

The fact they created an auto-reply, shows the Emails were definitely being noticed. I never got one, but that was probably before the onslaught.
