Come on guys, decals on rifles add +5 range and + 10 stopping value, while ignoring armour don't ya know.

And in all honesty, the large majority of casuals out there would probably eat up having a design on the side of their rifle.

Yeah, it's plebeian as hell, but people'd eat it up. There are still people buying these guns, against all logic.
 
How is the reliability on this new batch of rifles? have some of the past issuies been addressed? These rifles do not have the best reputation. As others suggeted maybe instead of wasting time on a polishing a turd with a custom paint job, that time might be better spent with a reliability demo.

If you do insist on Cerakoting it, skip the mapleleaf and just stencil information on how to get warranty service on the rifle in Canada. That way we won't get so many phone calls / emails at the shop I work at regarding this.
 
I had been thinking about buying one of these. This thread has definitely soured me on the idea. An unreliable gun isnt a gun. Hope the distributors and manufacturer are taking note.
 
I would not put a flag on it, especially one that has the Liberal colours and designed by Liberals.

Anyways, had one of the first ones with the long handguard, ran pretty good actually, but i sold it because the DMR trigger sucked - absolutely no wall, just smooth all the way through. I mean hey, good for benchrest, but sucks for 3gun. Accuracy from mine was 2-3moa, so not really a benchrest gun either lol.

Oh well, with the Faustian deal between the JT and Singh, these will be put on the banned list soon enough. Why burn another $2K on a rifle that is going to be in lockup and can never be used.
 
I have a recent-production short-handguard one. Feeds, fires, and ejects fine, BUT light primer strikes are an issue. I had planned to swap out the hammer spring for a heavier AK spring, but looks like I sold my spare springs when I sold my Valmets. I saw a discussion on another forum about this issue, and apparently shortening the firing-pin spring a few coils helped. I checked mine, and the resistance to pushing the firing pin forward was excessive. I'm going to remove a couple of coils from that spring and see if it helps. Aside from the light primer strikes, mine has been great, though I haven't run many rounds through it.

With regard to the OPs question - none of the above. I agree that some camo options would be nice, but ensuring reliability would be better!

I will never buy anything with a Canadian flag on it and neither should anyone else. Why promote and have pride in a country that literally want to take all of our guns and freedoms away.
This isn't the Canada anymore and I have more loyalty to companies and products then I do for Canada.
 
I'm not a fan of any of them. Some factory digi camo could be cool though but it's nothing I'm going to buy anytime soon...to many bad dtiries about them.
 
Honestly, I think this thread has shown the obvious lack of interest in this rifle. You guys should work on getting the Croatian Vhs-2 semi 556, 20" non-restricted. I believe you'd sell loads of them.
 
No flag for me.

I think their is a lot of interest in Canada for this rifle but with its bad reputation for poor quality control and reliability issues, alot of guys are not willing to take the gamble. While some seem to be complete dogs, some seem to be working very well. I have a bit of experience with the latest short handgaurd version and it seemed to work ok after about 50 rounds for break in. As for accuracy, it was being fed the copper washed Norinco stuff and was guided with a red dot from 100 yards. It was stacking rounds up on steel without too much trouble but if i had to guess, I would guess 2 to 3 moa. It would have been nice to try it with a proper scope from a proper bench rest. The overall build quality was outstanding...the trigger is really nice and light with a decent break. My only beef, as has been mentioned previously, is the stiffness of the safety and the lack of a last round bolt hold open.

That's just it.
This concept is great on paper, but not many people are willing to gamble dropping 2 grand on a rifle, that has about 50% chance of being a lemon...unless all the reliability issues have been addressed already?
