CZ 858 Tactical

Doesn't the deadline make it seem like they really want as many of these to fall out of scope as possible. You cannot reasonably expect every owner of such rifles to know about the deadline.

It'll also make for some nice "Man detained at traffic stop found to be in possession of a prohibited assault-style rifle" headlines.

Do you honestly think they’ll even get 50% of them?

No, I was musing on their motivations and expectations, not upon reality

Crank up the paper criminal making machine, Justin...

Being Non-restricted, there's no reasonable way for the RCMP CanadianFirearmsProgram to notify the owners. If they do it'll be a political mess for the RCMP, because they'll be admitting they kept a copy of the LGR, in violation of the law.

Assuming the 4% of PALers who signed the petition represent the readership and reach of various social media, my guess is that 96% of CZ858 owners will not find out about this date until it's too late.

The bulk of them could be notified via the vendors that sold them, but that's a lot of work for the vendors. (I'm assuming they have emails, otherwise its envelopes & stamps)

Low Estimate
CZ858 9800 * $729.95 = $7,153,510
Swiss 1800 * $2999 = $5,398,200
Total: $12,551,710

High Estimate (most CZ owners I've seen, an old NFA announcement; and higher Swiss Arms price)
CZ858 13000 * $729.95 = $9,489,350
Swiss 1800 * $4000 = $7,200,000
Total: $16,689,350
