On the outside, the barrel is new and made in Canada, same with the wood and some of the internal parts. Within the receiver, the trigger and sear setup is different and has been improved. The WR762 uses a different, proprietary receiver made in Canada that’s different enough from the 858 that it’s considered its own rifle. The primary fundamental difference between these two rifles is the receiver. These rifles were loaned to me for review. Although they looks similar to an AK47, they’re very different: using different magazines, striker fired, a short stroke gas system instead of long, and are generally a higher quality rifle made from a milled receiver rather than a stamped one. These are unique, non-restricted, semi-automatic rifles made in Canada. Canadians love the VZ58 pattern rifles and want more in country, so West Rifle and Kodiak Defense came up with the WR762: West Rifle 7.62. Here in Canada, a recent (2014) ban on CZ858 rifles as converted autos and then subsequent amnesty on owning those guns has introduced some potential risk to future “take backsies”.
