That's an odd comment for a Wolverine Supplies employee, isn't it?

My 23 y.o. son and I both own (now prohibited) CZ858 Tactical 2 P 2011 Models (purchased together directly from Wolverine).

We phoned Wolverine Supplies on 6th March - 2 days prior to your comment in the above quote to ask what we could do? Did we have to surrender them? Would new receivers become available? etc. etc.

It was suggested by the guy at Wolverine (pun intended) that we strip both rifles and cut the receivers in two as close to the chamber as possible. Keep the barrels and all other parts and replacement receivers might become available ("we're working on it").

So, I suggest all employees at Wolverine have a staff meeting and come up with a common response for all to hear or see.

'Cuz right now my son & I have two matching piles of Czech made rifle parts that we paid Wolverine $1,660 for and we don't have a clear indication as to what's going, where we stand or what's in the works to fix this...

And, there are THOUSANDS more of us waiting for the same answers. And we're upset. VERY UPSET.

I understand that as a Father you were trying to set a good example for your son by proactively cutting your rifles in half... well before anyone was coming for them... But maybe next time don't jump the gun, pun intended. I certainly wouldn't be blaming someone else for your decisions. Also if the time comes where you have to dispose of the rifles, cutting the receivers is the best thing to do. And if that happens, you'll be one step ahead of the rest of us!
 
Bahaha sucks to be you, its your own fault for cutting the reciever before the government even made a decision. Remember to post some pictures so we can put you right up there with the dishwasher m14 guy :)

Feel free to pollute this board and a sponsor's forum with your juvenile nonsense.

Barrels will only be slightly thicker between the receiver and gas port assuming we change the profile at all.

well that is diferent than what i had in mind , for some reason i had a flat profile barrel thick from front to rear .

from what you say it just going from the chamber to the gas port doesnt seem worth it on an 18 1/2" length .

You have to clean them anyway, as the piston etc will still rust from the ammo. You get better accuracy out of a non-chrome lined barrel and unless you are planning on running your rifle on full-auto the chrome lining really isn't doing anything. In some cases it can be worse, as if there is a small hole in the chrome lining, rust can form in behind it.

Well, if you were to go down to the States and use the rifle for a class, or the law was to change regarding mag capacity, or you just had lots of 5 rounders lying on a table and blasted them all off, if you got through more than about 90 rounds in a minute and you can severely reducing the life of your barrel in a non-chrome configuration. So I would rather have a system that could withstand some heavy range use, rather than a regular barrel that will literally be shot out if you go through one or two carbine classes (I mean American style carbine classes with regular cap mags), and at the end of the day it might cost you 100 bucks. That is why chrome is a deal breaker, if you shoot 50 rounds a week and clean it after every use, surely you won't care.

I come from an era where I have lots of experience with high capacity magazines and many many rounds down range very fast over short periods of time. Not as easy to wear a barrel out that way as you might think. If you can shoot out a barrel in one or two carbine classes you have a crap barrel, nothing to do with whether it is chrome lined or not.

One other thing to remember, it's the leade which gets "too hot", not the barrel on past the leade. Chromed or not, the leade is going to degrade with shooting.
