What should Canam bring in next?

Okay, what about this?

With the reduction in numbers of the Czech and Slovak armies, the Czech defence infrastrucure has a surplus of Model 58 7.62 mm assault rifles (see entry under Rifles). Many of these rifles are being stockpiled, but in an attempt to make good use of at least some parts of these rifles, the Czech Military Institute for Weapon and Ammunition Technology(VTUVM) has utilised many Model 58 rifle components to produce the Sa 58/98 Bulldog 9 mm sub-machine gun, a relatively low-cost firearm intended to attract export orders. The Sa 58/98 Bulldog (Sa - Samopal - sub-machine gun) is chambered for the 9×19 mm Parabellum cartridge.

Description

In the conversion from the Model 58 7.62 mm assault rifle to the Sa 58/98 Bulldog 9 mm sub-machine gun, it would appear that the only original components utilised are the trigger and grip assembly, complete with the selective fire mechanism and parts of the receiver. The original operating mechanism has been replaced by a blowback system and the original magazine housing has been modified to accommodate a straight box magazine holding 30 9 × 19 mm Parabellum rounds. The butt-stock is replaced by a simple single-strut design folding to the left. It is not certain if a cut-down barrel has been bored out to the 9 mm calibre or if a new barrel has been installed.
The top of the Sa 58/98 Bulldog receiver can be used to mount an optical or night sight and a laser aiming device can be installed.

Variant

9 mm Sa 58/98 S
The Sa 58/98 S is a silenced version of the Sa 58/98 Bulldog having a reduced length barrel (180 mm) and a permanently fitted sound suppressor, which increases the overall length of the firearm to 810 mm with the butt-stock extended. The suppressor reduces the muzzle velocity to 300 m/s when firing conventional ammunition.

Will post some pics as soon as I find some.
 
How about some extra magazines for the M213, and some 8, 9 or 10 round magazines for the grizzly-mag.

A NR 9mm SMG would be nice too.

Thanks.

From what I understand, the VZ 58S's we get here are a custom order (the receivers, anyway... so as to not be 12.3).

Looks like they are using SAF mags.

Certainly looks like it.

The SAF is based on the SIG 540.

Was it the 540's or the 550's that were prohib? I'm pretty sure it's the 550.

Being able to clip the magazines to each other is a nice bonus.
 
Chile doesnt allow the export of weapons of war to civilians, but some came into Canada anyways. You wont be seeing anymore ever again though.
 
Okay then, what about a semi-automatic Browning Automatic Rifle?

I don't much care which version (A bipod would be nice, but whatever the majority dictates is fine with me in this case).

Or is 30.06 still considered a military caliber and subject to ####ty(er) export regulations?

The carbine would be more fun; but only after he brought in the pistol version that used 10 shot detachable mags.

Nah bring the carbine in first...that way they can't say "hey, that looks just like that pistol you guys brought in last month" and arbitrarily restrict it.
