I heard that they won't be imported not because they're "prohibited devices" but because the RCMP has been making it a real hassle. If that's the case, what are the chances of someone taking over for Wolverine and starting to import? It's a great rifle and I'd wanna pick one up eventually. I'm assuming this doesn't affect the CSA's?
 
CZ 858 update.

Wolverine Supplies will no longer be importing the CZ 858 rifle into Canada. Our last two shipments (Dec 2012 and Feb 2013) were detained by CBSA, they sent three samples to the RCMP for examination who informed CBSA that they are prohibited. Last week we finally got word that we had successfully returned the rifles to CZ. At this point in time we still do not have any written report on the rifles that were examined. We are now informed that as we have no rifles from that shipment in Canada we have no grounds to appeal the CBSA decision to the Customs Trade Tribunal. We have heard all kinds of rumours and speculation but nothing that we can base a sound business decision on.

Regretfully we have no choice but to cancel all outstanding back orders for the CZ 858 rifle, in all models. Anyone who had placed a deposit will be getting a full cash refund.

We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused our customers.


I'm not sure if Wolverine is the primary importer, but if shipments for a major retailer like them are getting rejected it's serious business.

Edit: it looks like whatever Wolverine got shipped was not in fact CZ858s as we know them. Wolverine has not posted the exact details of what the rifles were determined to be, all they have said is that the three samples from the shipment were rejected and sent back to CZ. Wolverine has not yet stated what those rifles were, nor has any official change to the CZ858 been made.

Everybody panic. Everybody get on the floor. Everybody walk the dinosaur.

I believer there was only 1 exclusive importer originally most gun shops I have talked to say there was only 1 and the mininum order anyways to get the 858 wasn't a small one so most wouldn't bother leaving the larger ones to have at it

Makes me worried since our we just approved the 858 for recruitment training might not be able to fill the order properly.
 
Yes, no more for the time being. Please direct your panic and fearmongering to the Wolverine thread.

It would seem that after being shipped the wrong (?) Product twice that Wolverine Supplies does not want to be out of pocket for any more cash. Can't blame them. It'll be interesting to see what the RCMP report says when it finally comes out. There is currently no danger to existing guns or to the CSA's. (Yes I know Liberals and top cops hate them, but there's sweet #*#* all they can do about it for now.)
 

"There will not be any more CZ 858 coming into Canada as Wolverine Supplies is the exclusive Canadian importer. We are already (have been for many months!) working on the new CZ 958 but no details at this time and it will be approx. a 12 months before they will be available for sale, we have a lot of hoops to jump through first."

By "958?" I was asking what it was. Is this the 308 model?
 
Well, looks like the price of a used 858 just went up 100%. That's 200% for a well used one and 1000% for a NIB with only 500rnds down the pipe for EE buyers. :p
 
No clue, they haven't released any details and can't find anything online.
That is why I said I wish John hadn't said anything.. it will be the "Canadian AK" all over again..
File this in the back of your head and forget about it. Just be happy that John is still trying to bring cool guns to Canada and support him when you can. So if things progress and he's offering it for sale, pick one up then.

I hear you.. Might buy an AR in the meantime lol

Someone have a link to this 958 version???

No info on it whatsoever that I could find. John just mentioned it in the post I had above which states "no details at this time".
