Instead of ranting, I think good things will be available in the future (Sorry to post from another sponsor but these guys are at the center of the situation - Posted in October):
If anyone wants a CZ858, check the EE. However, some are starting to gouge - new EE ad only asking $3000:
I saw that add......I LAUGHED SO HARD I ALMOST PISSED MYSELF.....$3000........FOR A CANADIAN EDITION....I WILL SELL MY CZ858 FOR $2500 IF ANYONE IS CRAZY ENOUGH TO BUY IT. HA HA HA.....
At what date did the FRT get changed to reflect a prohib status on some of the 858 family?. Couldn't find a precise date on this FRT change. Summer of 2013???
interesting to go back and read all these comments in light of what happened last month...
Well since this thread is still going, here is what is going to happen... NOTHING.
No change in the status, no confiscations, & no more $ spent on the matter from the government. All they have to do is not allow anymore shipments in. (which has already happened)
Same with the Swiss Arms... NOTHING.
Further importation of these models will be prohibited to import but not own just like what the U.S. did back in the 90's. The guys there that were lucky enough to have bought a SIG 550 for example
(Swiss Arms Classic Green) just saw their rifle skyrocket in value as no further importation of the firearm was allowed.
Case closed
I'm not going to worry one bit. I'm just going to have fun with my CZ & Swiss and watch the value go up while I'm doing it!
Have a nice day, I'm done reading this garbage:~)
Sorry what was that again?
The RCMP WONT prohib the 858 or the VZ,,,would be a PR nightmare,,,and insanely costly,,,and pointless,,since most owners are UN-registered,,,restricted guys may have problems since they are known,,,even then,,all you need to give them is the reciever,,,they will freak when they know what you can do with the parts,,,homemilled recievers will be done everywhere,,it's not like these old warhorses are very high tech,,a first year machinist apprentice can whip one out in no time,,,and with the CNC's now,,they would fly out of there,,LOL..all these pages of comments ans NOBODY has a shed of evidence but STILL instill on stiring up the pot,,,if you dont own a 858 or 58,,GO BUY ONE NOW,,,before sellers start jacking up prices,,,
