Grandfathering of the Ceská Zbrojovka (CZ) Model CZ858 Tactical Series of Rifles
Information for clarification
Bill C-71 proposes changes that would impact some firearm owners in Canada. The information outlined below is intended to provide guidance to CZ/SA firearm owners should Bill C-71, as introduced in the House of Commons on March 20, 2018, become law.
Background
1. The purpose of this guide is to help owners of CZ858 rifles determine which group their firearm or firearms would fall into should Bill C-71 become law. The guide applies only to the four models which could be affected: CZ858 Tactical-2P, CZ858 Tactical-2V, CZ858 Tactical-4P, and CZ858 Tactical-4V.
2. The Ceská Zbrojovka (CZ) model CZ858 Tactical series of firearms, hereafter referred to as the “CZ858 rifle”, has been available in Canada since 2005. Four distinct models would be affected by the legislative changes proposed in Bill C-71, the CZ858 Tactical-2P, 2V, 4P and 4V, which differ in barrel length and stock configuration.
3. The CZ858 rifle is derived from the Soviet era Czechoslovakian selective fire Vz58 assault rifle by modifying the internal firing mechanism and re-marking the firearm. Consequently the rifle may bear original Czechoslovakian markings as well as modern Czech Republic markings.
4. Most CZ858 rifles would become prohibited firearms and would be eligible for grandfathering. However, some early models of CZ858 rifles would not be affected by the proposed legislation and would remain restricted or non-restricted firearms according to barrel length, and would not require grandfathering.
5. The two groups of firearms are identified by the pattern of proof marks present on the rear sight block of the rifle. In general, CZ858 rifles with a proof mark dated 2005 or 2006 would not be affected by the proposed legislation and would remain restricted or non-restricted firearms. Those CZ858 rifles with a proof mark dated 2007 or later would become prohibited firearms.
Step 1: Determine whether your rifle is a CZ858 Tactical rifle
6. The left side of the CZ858 rifle is marked with the serial number, model designation, caliber and manufacturer’s logo on the left side of the receiver above the trigger. The model designation must be one of the following:
CZ858 Tactical-2P
CZ858 Tactical-2V
CZ858 Tactical-4P
CZ858 Tactical-4V

The rear sight block is located forward of the receiver (action). The relevant proof marks are present on the left side of the rear sight block just below the rear sight.
Step 2: Determine whether your rifle would be an affected model
Generation #1 (Unaffected)
8. If the markings on the left side of the CZ858 rifle sight block follow the pattern below, the CZ858 rifle would be unaffected by the proposed legislation and would remain a restricted or non-restricted firearm. The “she” code for the manufacturer (Ceská Zbrojovka Uherský Brod) is visible at the upper left of the sight block. The military property mark (crossed swords) is to the right. Below those markings are the modern Czech Republic proof mark and date, in this case, 2005. A 2006 date is also possible.

Generation #2 (Unaffected)
9. The markings on the left side of the second generation CZ858 rifle sight block, illustrated in figure 3 below, differ in that the original manufacturer’s markings have been removed. The upper portion of the left side of the sight block has been machined, removing the surface metal where the code for the manufacturer and the military property mark would have been located. The machined space is now occupied by the modern proof mark and date, in this case, 2006. Note the machined space occupies approximately half the surface of the left side of the rear sight block.

Generation #3 (Affected)
10. The markings on the left side of the third generation CZ858 rifle sight block below, differ from the first and second generation rifles in that nearly all the surface of the left side of the rear sight block has been machined to create a depression. The machined space is now occupied by the modern Czech Republic proof mark and date, in this case, 2011. CZ858 Tactical rifles with this kind of marking would become prohibited and eligible for grandfathering should Bill C-71 become law.
11. Although this generation of CZ 858 rifle is typically associated with a proof mark dated 2007 or later, it is possible that some late production 2006 proof dated rifles will follow this pattern. These rifles would also become prohibited and eligible for grandfathering should Bill C-71 become law.

Third generation CZ858 rifles may also bear an arsenal repair code, in this case indicating the original Vz58 assault rifle was returned to the arsenal for repairs in 1975 and 1977.

No doubt it will be asked many more times by various interested folks.
