I've been looking for a few parts for my Vz58s, on the assumption that they'll be shootable again one of these days. In particular, I want a couple of the bolt carriers with the left-side charging handles. Zbyněk Novák at CSA noted that they still make them, and that you should be able to get them in. Can you?

I'd also love a couple of the bolt catch/bolt release levers and ambi extended mag catches... and the 45-degree ambi safeties... just sayin'

They do but my last order took a while to ship (at least 2 weeks) and was stuck in customs in Mississauga for over a month. Shipped postal.
I ordered a part from IMI (also in Israel) and had it in my hands in 2 weeks. Shipped UPS.

I have ordered from this company in the Czech Republic in the past, but I am not sure if they still ship to Canada. The parts are great quality.

Yep, I already checked with Jan Műhlstein over there. They have the bolt carriers with the lever on the left side in stock, but there is a legislative problem. This component (along with certain other parts) was legislatively classified as a "main part of a weapon" in the Czech Republic and its sale is only possible with a purchase permit from the police. Furthermore, "the SA58 is specified as a military weapon from the point of view of export and its export (including all SA58 clones and main parts of the weapon) is prohibited".
 
I thought parts for prohibs were also prohib?

I know I saw some legalese on this topic shared a few years ago on a thread regarding AR parts being held at the border but I don't recall what specific regulation was being quoted.

They aren't, or, at least didn't used to be.... RCMP website used to say, import of parts for prohibs wasn't illegal, but it seems CBSA is kind of... making their own interpretations up regarding what should be allowed in or not.
