There could be a lot of issues with that, gas port pressure curve, timing, more stress on the piston and return spring etc.Originally Posted by DaveMachine
Better to just lengthen the handguard.

Canada is done, save the West.
I would like to see a charging handle on the left side or better yet make it you could unscrew it and put it on which ever side the owner wants
I would also like to see a ghost ring or peep sight on it. the open V notch sights kinda suck
I would want to see a last shot hold open. Don't care how it is done if not I can deal with it
I was thinking it would lower gas port pressure and reduce stress on the system.
Make a version in 5.56 that can take STANAG mags and I would buy one!

I would be curious if VZ-58 has ever been patented, maybe, maybe not but I know for sure(since I grew up in there) the commies weren't big on patents and never understood the patent concept well. To them, any idea or creation was nation's property. CZ-75's trigger system is a classic example, unique, ingenious yet never patented.
And that right there is probably why the Italians, Turkish and Chinese copied them

Maybe, if you don't end up having to upsize the port to compensate?
I'm no engineer or nuthin', but I'd be a little worried about the effects of lengthening that relatively skinny piston also.
None of these issues are bound to be showstoppers, but may take development efforts that WR might not want to get into.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no expert either so this is merely my best guess. I was just figured it would be akin to shooting a carbine gas system vs a midlength on an AR15. I'm also aware of the cost and headache involved to get something like this right - just figured I'd throw it out there on the off chance WR might try it out.
A proper upgrade would be adding an adjustable gas port, like on a SCAR. Far more practical than extending the entire gas system and piston for no reason.
Some builders in the states have offered the option of buying just a rifle with no furniture, maybe consider that as an option?
Also, will you consider selling the receivers separately?
