CSA Vz 58 222 Rem???

Lol, why? It's the socialist-friendly version from Europe to appease those who actively engage in fear mongering against military calibers... even though the .222 caliber is almost the same as its' military counterpart.

Luckily, in Canada we can have the 5.56 NATO version (.223 rem). Besides, even if you'd *maybe* buy one, importing guns in weird calibers (when also available in cheap & widely available common calibers) wouldn't sell well in Canada. You must be the first person on CGN actually interested in buying one.

.222 is for specific markets only... it's for those gun owners who can't have .223 thanks to having commies running their poor-ass countries. Smart move on CSA's part to corner the market like that, but luckily not very useful to us.

Hi there. I was asking since I seen on the VZ website that it was manufactured and available on the market. It was listed as a chambering in the Vz 58 sporter, just asking that is all as I wanted to know if these were available in Canada. No worries hey it is just a question easy enough disregard or answer if you will. As a option available to Non restricted buyers it is fortunate that these guns can be bought and I am considering options in the chambering. Thanks again and kind regards.

I'm not trying to be a jerk here but why would .222 interest you when the .223 will do everything the .222 does and more and ammo, reloading components and equipment for the .223 are so much more available. Just askin'. :confused:
 
No harm in having a semi-auto in .222 Remington. Ruger had this available once for the Mini-14 and it had a reputation for better accuracy than the more popular .223.
The lack of surplus ammunition just might lead to the shooter striving for better accuracy and fewer expended rounds shot in a spray&pray attitude 'just because' one can do so cheaply.
Certainly the varmints down range will not be able to tell the difference between a 222 or 223 strike.

223 all the way dude , the 222 was in part created for the countries where civilian cant use firearm in military calibre. 223 can be bought in bulk too. Anyway, yo

Ahem......no the .222 was created well before the .223 by Remington's Mike Walker along with the Model 722 bolt action rifle in the early 1950s. A few years later during small arms trials an American general wanted the .222 Remington to be able to penetrate a US steel helmet @500 yards. The powder charge had to be increased to do this......hence the .222 Remington Special (.223) was born.
The use of the .222 in semi-auto rifles overseas was well after this fact.
 
What a crock. The 222 Remington was developed by Mike Walker of Remington Arms. Introduced in 1950, it was designed for varmint shooting but soon was adopted by bench reas shooters.
It is an inherently accurate cartridge as is the 308 Win.
Hardly created for shooters in modern times where civilians can't have a 223.
Where on earth did you get that information?
 
.222? just for the sake of its and iggles? No probly not However (and I may be wrong here) You might have some luck finding a "private party" in the USA that will be able to import to you through a Canadian company that has the proper import licences.

My friends cousins dogs imaginary friend says you can still import an FN SCAR so long as the selling party is "private" and not direct from fabrique national. basically the gun no longer falls under regular US state department exportation rules once its leaves the hands of FN.

or so says my friends cousins dogs imaginary friend. worth a try if nothing else id say.

prophet river advertises importation they should have the answers
 
Hi there. It was just a question I had for the importer of these weapons as it is advertised on the CSA website and I wanted to know if it had been brought in as these guns have been around for a few years now. I do have an old heavy barrelled Savage 222 Rem clip fed bolt action (340 maybe) and it would be nice to reload for both .I also have a Tula made SKS that I have had for years before the current boatloads have arrived here. No matter, M43 30.cal or .223 it is then. Thanks.
