CSA VZ-58 in 5.45x39 ??

[Stevo]

I wish I could remember the price for the spam can I seen, but IIRC it was considerably less than a case of Czech 7.62x39. More than the cost savings though is the fact that you're getting a round that uses modern streamlined bullets and has a good 200 meters more in the way of effective range.

TSE or CSC in Calgary, can't remember which, had a couple of cans last year that went with the sale of a prohib AK-74 of some sort.

You can't judge future imported price by a tiny sample of, no doubt, "grey market" imported ammo.

There's no reason it shouldn't remain well below the price of Czech ammo except for the fact that we pay more for pretty much everything gun related here.

For example, the Americans get brand new, non-corrosive, Russian made 7.62x39 for $200/1000.

I think I would be all over a VZ carbine in 5.45 as well.

Ruger should get on the ball and make a "Mini 5.45" and there needs to be some bolt actions in that calibre as well.

savage makes a bolt action in 5.45 x39!!

Since they introduced the VZ-58, I always though this would be a good way to get something in 5.45x39 here in Canada, provided we can obtain surplus ammo at a decent price.

Count me in if they ever make a VZ-58 in 5.45X39.

 

[Blegend]

Be sweet having a rifle in that caliber.

 

[sniper762]

If i could get surplus ammo i would buy the savage model 25 in 5.45x39 and a cz 858 in 5.45x39 !!

They do???

The good news is NRCan relaxed surplus ammo import regulations last year so getting 5.45 ought to be easier than before. No reason we shouldn't see it on the market if there is demand.

300 blackout was made to mimic the 7.62x39 but feed better in a AR and use AR mags ,, dont really see a point in having a 7.62x39 rifle rechambered for it ..

You are correct. They can't ship it out of the country because the PIG AMERICANS might get their hands on it and steal all the glorious secrets it contains.

Heh, yeah, as if.

I'm just wondering if they'd bother matching the sights to the new cartridge? Do the 5.56 guns have sites calibrated for their caliber or are they the same as the 7.62x39 guns?

 

[Big_red_truck]

Yo dem bullets is wack. 5.45 be too small it got no power. Dis smaller than a .22. 5.56 da best bullet cuz it be da same as da M4 strait up

I didn't understand a word you just said , you do know there is a spell check right?

 

[Moparlover]
