We used to be able to get them in Canada?
On youtube people claim it's a good rifle that you can get for 400$.. What the hell?
All I see is VZ58 with synthetic stock for 1100$ everywhere.
The VZ type was a $500-600 rifle. I got one from a dealer for $375. The $1000+ price is gouging plain and simple.
Newly milled / machined parts vs. a stockpile of surplus parts in a warehouse being assembled.
Yes whats your point ?
The U.S. receiver are newly made and whole rifles are selling for 399$-499$
We are getting gouged no doubt about that.
Why would you ask what my point is when I had already made my point?
If you need further explanation:
While the CAI vz2008 does have a newly machined receiver it still uses more surplus parts than the CSA vz58, which results in a lower cost compared to the CSA.
The price is in USD, which results in a lower cost when compared to the CSA (Would be 600 CAD).
The parts are imported in far greater quantity than could ever be realistically imported into Canada, which results in a lower cost than the CSA, you know, wholesale bulk pricing and all that.
The warranty on the vz2008 is worse and some are without a warranty, again, lower cost than the CSA.
The list goes on.
I'm not at all impressed with the 958. They laugh when people want chrome lined. You're paying for new milling of upper and lower, but ARs also milled for $200. Still makes it a $600 rifle.
I haven't been following the vz58 ban. Is it just the cz rifles that where effected, or the fsn too? I see marstar used to sell the fsn rifles, is there a reason they are no longer available?

Is it just me or does it seem that even VZ58 are hard to find to nowdays?
