Why has nobody bastardized a VZ to bolt action yet for 30 round mags?

I think even with a bolt action vz, the mags would still have to be pinned.

Yep. You would have to design a new rifle with new mags that "coincidentally" also work in the vz58 series of rifles.

The better question is which dealer is working on importing VZ pistols?

That is an excellent question. Too bad there is nothing but silence as an answer so far.

I don't want a pistol that fires 7.62 X39 in canada.... because then all the surplus ammo that has steel penetrators become illegal as they can be fired from a "commonly available" semi automatic pistol as per CBSA D19
 
All of you want a dealer to step up to be the hero, but nobody wants to risk it themselves?

Some one be the hero. Buy one, get someone to import it, or at least offer to import it, and get it sent to the lab to get verified as a pistol so it can get its own FRT number as a pistol.

Then watch the mags come.

Offset the risk, with making a deal with some dealer that will import to get a cut.

Maybe I'm dreaming though. It is late.

Right. Perhaps then you can explain why green tip 5.56 isn't illegal despite LAR pistols being available? IMHO this fear is overblown... Let's focus on stuff that's actually an issue.

Robinson arms already makes em. 10 shot 7.62 mags available for LAR pistols which coincidently fit Robinson Arms 7.62x39 rifles. I don't think the steel core in most of the surplus ammo is considered a penetrator. It is a lead substitute in countries that didn't have large amounts of the stuff.
 
I have to ask.... when was the last time green tip ammo came up for sale in any real quantity? or IVI 62.5 grain C77? Last time I checked the supply had all but dried up.

Is the pistol that shoots the 7.62 ammo considered a common semi automatic pistol though? because that right there is the qualifier to make a caliber prohib to posses an AP round for

Here's an idea for the dealers... Sell the VZ pistol AT COST to 50 lucky CGN'ers & legitimize the pistol as 'commonly available' here in Canada...

THEN, MAKE A FRICKEN MINT SELLING PISTOL MAGS!!!

Cheers

This is a utterly complete non-issue to the original post, please disregard.

We would need more than just a few people importing these pistols and I don't think there would be a chance in hell unless a dealer jumped in. What number constitutes "commonly available"?

I have seen comments that indicate there are only a few dozen LAR-15 pistols registered in Canada. Some of the people commenting should know, but it is not verified by anything official I have seen. I think to be considered "commonly available" there has to be an FRT # in the system and possibly a dealer willing to import one.

SFRC just brought in a ton and sold a ton no more than a month ago I don't think Ryan is one to do anything illegal to jeopardize his business. Also Gagnon Sports was selling it regularly up until a few months ago.

That's pretty much what I suspected all along.
