Today, the Honourable Steven Blaney, Canada's Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada, announced the Harper Government has amended the firearms classification regulations to prescribe Ceska Zbrojovka (CZ) 858 rifles and certain Swiss Arms family of firearms as 'restricted' or 'non-restricted' as they were treated prior to February 26, 2014.
Through these amendments, possession of the CZ 858 rifle and certain Swiss Arms family of firearms will be governed by the same rules as those applicable to non-restricted and restricted firearms in Canada.
The Harper Government supports a firearms control system that encourages compliance and reduces the administrative burden on law-abiding firearms owners while maintaining safety for Canadian communities.
Quick Facts
These changes provide certainty for firearms owners who purchased a CZ 858 Tactical 2 or 4 rifle or certain Swiss Arms family of firearms in good faith, that they will not face any criminal consequences.
Information about how such firearms must be stored, transported or displayed is available via the Canadian Firearms Program.

MAX 67Есть выпуски которые в прошлом были селект файр вз58, а потом переделанв в 858, а по сему попали под определение конвертед фулл авто. после 2006го года вроде. Самое смешное сто отличий ресобрать и переделлали потом, а другие несобранные ресиверы переделали сразу. Плюс есть те 858 что делались на гражданскихресиверах сразу, эти никогда не запрещались.
Непонятный шум о CZ 858 она продавалась, и продается вроде бы никаких проблем.
repeal changes made by Bill C-42 that allow restricted and prohibited weapons to be freely transported without a permit, and we will put decision-making about weapons restrictions back in the hands of police, not politicians;
