NS likely won't post one. They don't sell direct to customers. You are better to watch the dealer forums for the dealers that sell NS product.
They are available at kellysonline.ca for pre-order and should be in store end of next week.

We won't know how many mags are with them until Monday, but we do have lots of spare mags coming with the shipment as well.
The pistol is prohibited several different ways:
1) By OIC so you need to have a 12.5 grandfathered to get around that
2) It is a converted full auto so you need to have a 12.3 to get around that
3) It is a .32 acp pistol so you need to have a 12.6 to get around that!
So... basically there's probably only a handful of people who can buy one of the original vz 61s in converted semi form. (I can but who on earth is selling one? LOL)

I think there are over 300+ NS dealers in the country. And it's entirely up to the dealers to order the guns from the distributor. But one dealer has already responded to the inquiries above.

So if I had a .32 vz61 I could convert to .22 with an upper change? Can the .22 lower accept the larger caliber upper ?
Yes, interchangeable.
Nope, it's much worse than that. The original pistols were prohibited by Kim Campbell in bill C-17 and were NOT grandfathered, so they were confiscated without compensation (see prohibited weapons order#11 for a full list of other designs that were banned but never grandfathered during that time). 12(5) was a different specific class of certain named designs that came about a few years later during C-68. So you'll never see an original prohibited grandfathered Skorpion "pistol" version in civilian hands in Canada. At least, not legally.
Thank god these are considered to be Skorpion "rifles".
Yes, but the oic rules all of those. While prohib for the other two reasons, the oic covers all calibre and actions. Plus with none in country under 12 (x) possession due to confiscation for that particular type, pistol mags causing limitation problems for the 22lr model don't exist.
In 22lr you wouldn't need a 18.5 inch barrel as it is rim-fire. You'd need an overall length of 26 inches. With the folding stock modified into the open position permanently you'd only need to add a further 5.6 inches to the barrel. Not funny looking at all with a shroud.
Anyone good with photoshop??? ...... My bait to get someone else to do the hard work
