It hasn't & it wont be for some time as the gun's need to be built & exported out of China .
These are not showing up on dealers shelves tomorrow
They've been talked about for a couple years, why not a couple more years...

Some photos I saved from a Guns and Ammo review that now seems to be gone.

True. More for the look than anything else. A 5/40 mag would look pretty cool on it too.
The profiles of the LMG and rifle are very different. The front sights, the front hand guard. Both very unique in their own right.

If the Chinese see a market production should not be an issue..

I want the LMG version for sure, but all three look great. I'm sure the aftermarket will start making polymer stuff, or adapters. Or even wood kits.

Are these the models we could be getting here.

Sure. Maybe.
It got approved two days ago as far as can be told. Dealers are in talks now to import them. Only those dealers know what they will bring.
Existing versions are restricted rifles with fixed and folding stocks, and the lmg version. The lmg would already be NR.
I'm sure importers will want rifles with slightly linger barrels to be NR.
That would be the logical answer. But nothing has yet been said by anything regarding what is coming.
It just got approved. It will be a few months before anything gets here.

I really want the lmg. A rifle second. Undecided on fixed or folded.

That underfolder looks cool too.
Interesting how some guns have a selector switch safety and others don't have one visible in the pictures.
The ones with no selector on the side seem to have something behind the trigger inside the trigger guard.

It is interesting... might be on prototype models? I'm not sure. It looks like some have that SKS style safety.
I figured the RCMP would've kept this rifle in limbo indefinitely. Great news indeed! Keep the retail price in the VZ-58/Type-97 range and it should sell like hotcakes. I can definitely see adding an LMG, NR rifle and standard restricted models to the collection. Price will decide its fate now that the RCMP have issued the FRT.
