Does anyone know where to find a Zastava m85 in 7.62x39? I'm looking to pickup a cheap rifle to use all my x39 ammo I have. Don't want to empty my wallet on a CZ.

You mean something like this: http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=...WJUdjrG8S6rgHHoICwDw&ved=0CDkQ9QEwAQ&dur=1312 right?
Not something like : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zastava_M85 this?
Because you'll never get your hands on the second one in Canada.

The main North American importer for the Zastava products was Charles Daly and then Remington took it over leading to the 798 fiasco. Since then, there is no N-A mass importer dealing with Zastava (yes, there was a batch imported by USSG but while it's not confirmed, we can think these rifles were the balance of the Remington contract). And they are not directly selling small quantities to resellers / importers... and they are pretty tough to deal with.
So, unless someone in North America is patient enough to get a business agreement with them, or for the occasional import from various european sources, do not expect seeing Zastava products flooding our continent.

These guys are the Canadian importer for Zastava. (From the Zastava website)
IZH IMPEX INC. in Toronto Ph: 416-736-9917

Yes, they are, actually, it's Baïkal Canada (working together with USSG in the US).
But still, it is doubtful they will proceed to import any kind of quantity and the last batch they got was liquidated for ridiculous prices, supposedly to import the detacheable mag version, which did not happen yet (two years later...). If they re-import Zastava rifles, it will be based on what USSG decide to bring in, if ever they do, as IZH Impex do not have the volume.
You still can contact them, but be ready to get some kind of evasive answer.
