Hi there,

I first just want to say that I understand the reluctancy to talk about matters that are not resolved or set in stone. That being said, there are many thousands of CZ 858 owners out there, many of them on this forum, and I like many others are concerned about the potential reclassification of our rifles.

Since Wolverine is the importer of these rifles it would seem logical that you guys would have the most information regarding their current legal status and the potential changes coming to it. Many other dealers have pointed to an almost certain reclassification to prohibited on the grounds that CZ 858s are built on converted auto receivers.

What I and others would like to know is all the available information surrounding this issue so that we may take action to prevent abuse of power by the RCMP by writing our MPs and being able to present an informed basis upon which to argue that the ridiculous system of classification must be gutted along with every other piece of the Firearms Act that needlessly burdens lawful Canadian firearms owners.

Thanks for you help on this matter.

Brian
 
I too would appreciate some information from Wolverine so that I can be aware of the actual facts of where this issue is currently.

Thank you,

A Wolverine customer.
 
When Justin gets in, he'll just take a list of the cool rifles, from this site, and ban/confiscate 'em all!
There, now you can lock it.
 
And if the CZ858 gets reclassification to prohibited, then what will happen to all the owners how don't have a prohibited licence and have spent all the money on the rifle and the upgrades. Are we going to get a knock at the door, and told to turn it over and then just be out our rifle and the money we put in it? Doesn't sound overly fair to me.
 
Can't take what they can't find people need to grow a set and just say no your not getting it they don't have big enough jails to lock us all up

Excuse my ignorance on most gun matters Canadian

Isn't the 858 NR?, that being so, the powers that be would have to rely on the honesty of owners to own up to owning one

Is this correct??

not if they have a shorter barrel classifying them as restricted
 
Well the RCMP knew that the 858 receivers were originally full auto receivers but they were not clased as converted auto because said receivers were never made into firearms until the cut out for full auto parts was welded then they were completed into firearms the csa line of 58 rifles are built on a newly manufactured receivers that never had the cutout for full auto parts so these are safe in my eyes all said this is just retaliation for the registry being removed

yup
 
If they were ever reclassified it would be an RCMP mistake for improper classification. If the government does not buy them back I doubt many will turn up to be turned in IMHO.
 
So this is where this is going. Most of CZ 858 are newly manufacture receiver. RCMP will waist their time because all they have to prove that new CZ 858 are fully re-manufactured. It is the VZ58 that what you should be concern about :)

Cheers
