858's are non-res. or res. depending on barrel length because that's the law.
The Marstar FSN-01 guns, not the earlier CZH2003 models, were reclassed to prohibited from restricted by the RCMP. I can't recall if there's ever been an statement from Marstar about why they were reclassed, but the speculation centered around the guns being built on previously select-fire receivers, thus being considered Converted Autos.

Basically it looks to be an issue with the receivers. Marstar uses converted full auto ones on guns. Wolverine gets their guns from CZ which looks to use new receivers
All Vz rifles were made from military recievers, CZ milled out the original markings and made sure all the holes that made it full auto were sealed shut. Extra care was done to make sure they are now newly manufactured and not some converted hack job. Wolverine is the sole imported for the CZ ones. Old CZs had the orignal markings intact, but since the FSN-01 fiasco, they made sure newly imported ones were as clean as possible.
Marstar has the CZH-2003, which is made by CZ Hermex, and the FSN-01, which was done by another firm but had never been imported before.
For the FSN-01 case, they were done similarly, but the RCMP was not satisfied enough.
As for the CZ Hermex ones, they are pretty close to the original select fire version as far as I can tell, But back then they were satified with what was done on those. I do not think Marstar will be importing any more VZ rifles now since now I can see the RCMP getting anal on the CZ Hermex ones.

Only if it was never part of a complete rifle.

Our laws make me want to smash my head against the wall......
Atleast we can be thankful that we can still own some of them. I really enjoyed my 858, suprisingly accurate and very comfortable.
Wasent close enough to an AK for my tastes though so I ended up selling her. Maybe some time i'll buy another one though.
