CSA VZ61 Skorpion .22LR (Restricted)

[mwjones]

I wouldn't be interested in a 18" barrel (or whatever it would take to hit NR length) but if the "stock" could be spot welded open with a 12" threaded barrel, that would be pretty neat.

I Just spoke to CSA, the 22 conversion kits will be available end of the year for export.
North Sylva, please make this available when they are ready.

weld the stock it has open and youd be almost there.

So if I had a .32 vz61 I could convert to .22 with an upper change? Can the .22 lower accept the larger caliber upper ?

Yes, interchangeable.

The pistol is prohibited several different ways:

1) By OIC so you need to have a 12.5 grandfathered to get around that
2) It is a converted full auto so you need to have a 12.3 to get around that
3) It is a .32 acp pistol so you need to have a 12.6 to get around that!

So... basically there's probably only a handful of people who can buy one of the original vz 61s in converted semi form. (I can but who on earth is selling one? LOL)

Nope, it's much worse than that. The original pistols were prohibited by Kim Campbell in bill C-17 and were NOT grandfathered, so they were confiscated without compensation (see prohibited weapons order#11 for a full list of other designs that were banned but never grandfathered during that time). 12(5) was a different specific class of certain named designs that came about a few years later during C-68. So you'll never see an original prohibited grandfathered Skorpion "pistol" version in civilian hands in Canada. At least, not legally.

Thank god these are considered to be Skorpion "rifles".

Yes, but the oic rules all of those. While prohib for the other two reasons, the oic covers all calibre and actions. Plus with none in country under 12 (x) possession due to confiscation for that particular type, pistol mags causing limitation problems for the 22lr model don't exist.

In 22lr you wouldn't need a 18.5 inch barrel as it is rim-fire. You'd need an overall length of 26 inches. With the folding stock modified into the open position permanently you'd only need to add a further 5.6 inches to the barrel. Not funny looking at all with a shroud.
