VZ58 in 7.62x51 is possible if there is enough interest.

No, but we can express interest. Not sure where the harms is in letting a willing company know that there is a demand for a mag fed non restricted 12ga.
Dear CSA:
There are lots of us trying to jump through hoops and holes to try and get past the mag capacity limit. I can assure you that if your rifle takes a bolt action magazine, namely the AICS 308 mags, you will soon find overwelming sizes of orders for your rifle, along with orders of 20-30 round magazines. It is so simple that I am amazed why no manufacturers are doing this for us yet. Just make it accept AICS mags and you will earn a fortune from the Canadian market.

Exactly all this naus about 5.45 and 12g vz's doesn't belong here and in fact is detrimental to getting the 762 NATO thing off the ground as it does not help show interests when a bunch of guys ask for unreasonable things...

Maybe we should start another thread with a poll to measure interest in various calibers/gauges?
I for one am happy to hear there is a company, CSA, that would even consider special runs for the Canadian market. I'm sure others are also impressed and have expressed their interest in other VZ58 variants in your thread instead of starting a new thread.
No one deliberately attempted to hijack/derail this thread.

Quoted for truth!!! Make the rifle with the AICS mag in mind. Even though there is no budget for a new firarm in my life, I would find the money. I would borrow the money. I want this rifle.308TRshooter

IF they made an SBR version that would be great since there aren't many SBRs in 7.62 NATO.
Agreed.
Offer a NR 18.5", which will sell a ton, and a res (or at least until we scrap the res and prohib categories, right?) in a shorter barrel length.
It's only a matter of shortening the barrel a bit. Don't have to change the gas system, length of the piston , etc.

Do you really think they will scrap the prohib/restricted class?

Who knows, but for now 18.5 would serve most users fine, and honestly if its CSA the mags will probably be those csa plastix mags which cAme with the .223 rifles, in this case they would be proprietary. Pmags ala ar10 would bet best but obviously the cz platform doesn't lend itself to a magwell very easily so I think g3 mags should be what it uses, they go for. 3 bucks each in the states.
If they could redesign it to work with a single stack mag the AI mags are an interesting possibility, the 20rd one would be enormously long though.
