This new rifle is a joint project between Wolverine Supplies in Virden, Manitoba and Česká zbrojovka in the city of Uherský Brod, Czech Republic. It was striker fired, had a last round bolt hold open, and could be fed from both magazines or stripper-clips. They’d use the same ammunition as the Russians, and at 500 yards they might look similar, but the Sa.58 was very different from the standard Kalashnikov. Rather than producing Kalashnivkovs like the other Warsaw Pact countries, Jiri Cermak designed an alternative. If you are not familiar with any of the 58 pattern rifles available in Canada, they all trace their origins back to the Sa.58 which was developed for the Czechoslovakian army during the Cold War. More than a fix, they have an improvement, an evolution, an honest effort to bring the Cold War era rifle into the 21st century. We are still waiting for “the fix” Bill C-42 to come into full effect and remove the restrictions on them.īut the original importer of the Cz858, Wolverine Supplies, already has a fix ready to go. It has been just over a year since the RCMP re-classified the Cz858 rifles in Canada.
