CZ 858 Tactical-2P Fixed Stock Non-Restricted, Last Shipment for Canada
Overview
Yes they are finally here and just waiting for your order!
These CZ 858 Tactical -2P rifles will be the last available from CZ. Brand new manufacture, they feature wood furniture (although we were told it was new, I suspect it is good wood that has been expertly refinished). Checkered forearm and pistol grip featuring a Maple Leaf along with the “Spartan” on the stock, but more of that to follow. The metal work has the best finish we have ever seen on these rifles.

The Backstory…
As there were only 300 rifles in this final order, (although only 245 were delivered due to shortage of some parts) from its conception this project received the nick name Sparta or Spartan in our office, not sure who dreamt this up, but it stuck and carried on in to our first advertising. efforts.
You are probably aware of King Leonidas and his Royal bodyguard of 300 men who held the pass of Thermopylae, while they successfully delayed the Persian invaders they were wiped out to a man. The modern movie “300” tells the story although I much prefer the older classic movie “The 300 Spartans” anyway this CZ project received that nick name.
After the Spartan warriors were surrounded they made a determined drive to reach the Persian King Xerxes, King Leonidas leading the spear head formation, eventually this gallant warrior was mortally wounded, his men shielded him and backed up.
Legend tells us that the Persians told the Spartans to lay down their arms, surrender the body of their King and they could go free. Their reply, “Come and get them" (Makes me think of similar replies that were delivered later at Arnhem and Bastogne).
The Persians backed away called in their archers and wiped the Spartans out. I thought it ironic that these last 300 CZ 858 Tactical -2P rifles would be nick named Spartans after that legendary last stand.
There never was any intent on the part of Wolverine Supplies to offer for sale anything other than a fully approved CZ 858 Tactical – 2P, no special model, just the standard rifle with the addition of a deluxe wood furniture kit and a Greek motive on the bolt carrier. Even the RCMP FRT print out states that there are variations of this rifle with different stocks. Indeed in the past we sold several hundred “Canadian Stocks” these were all checkered and had the Maple leaf. This firearm is simply the same model as we have imported before and it is the CZ858 Tactical 2P as already identified in the FRT as non restricted.
Now more about the Spartan logo. In order to confirm that you were in fact purchasing one of the last 300 CZ 858 Tactical -2P rifles to be imported, we had a Spartan helmet and the Greek “Molon Labe” (Come and get them) laser engraved on the butt stock and the bolt carrier.
Current Update
Currently the RCMP SFSS have had - shipped from us on Nov. 1st - two sample rifles so that they can confirm that these rifles are indeed CZ 858 Tactical -2P rifles which will be non restricted due to their barrel length.
The Manitoba CFO has requested that we stop retail distribution until the SFSS have rendered their decision. All orders placed prior to this notification will stand. Anyone wishing to cancel and receive a full refund can do so.
Since RCMP-SFSS are requesting the Inspection they have told us they will expedite the matter, and as soon as they have received the firearm examples requested they will give us an estimated completion date for their decision.
We are confident the RCMP will agree that these are non restricted.
In order to fully comply with the Manitoba CFO we cannot accept your order but be prepared as soon as these rifles are correctly classified as the sale will start.
