Gents, I contacted a seller of the $500.00 Zastavas and inquired about buying a nominal sum of LEFTIES in 375 and 458. I was informed by their sales manager that they only buy through Remington. I also called Remington and was politely told, won't happen. I mentioned this to the FFL I work with and he has a friend who wholesales from European gun manufactures. I was curious, should we be able to round up a 100 gun buy, would his friend contact Zastava and see if this could be arranged. First, need to find out if a 100 gun buy might happen. Remember, this would be only for 375s and 458s. Give me some feed back as to the possibility of geting a 100 gun demand for the lefties. At the moment, this is a feeler for pushing this buy.

I would buy at least one of each, possibly two depending on the price. They have to be priced reasonably otherwise they would compete with having a Ruger, Win, or MRC rebarreled. At $750-800 I think they would be a winner. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

At $500 for right handed models is $700-$750 a reasonable amount for a lefty? At $750 I'd buy one 458 Win, although I'd rather have 2-3 left handed actions.

I'd be interested in one. | |||

I'd be in for either actions or rifles, (2) but would prefer actions. | |||

I will do one rifle and one action...and depending on price one more of each.

By the way its looking & in this short of time, I would say getting an order for 100 would be pretty easy. Would it be possible for action only? or would it likey have to be the whole gun?

UPDATE..... If this happens, and I should know tomorrow as I'm going to pick up a gun from my FFL, these right handed mausers are pictured on page 67 of the CDNN website downloadable catalog. .....NO Action alone sales... Roger QSL | |||

I would probably be interested in one in 458 but will need to know price first before making final commitment. Good Hunting,  | |||

I would probably be interested in a 375 at a reasonable price. | |||

I would be in for three. I'd prefer actions only.....but I'd take whole rifles if I had to. If I needed to buy complete rifles I'd want a 458, a 375 and a 9.3x62 | |||

I'm in for a 375 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

What is the status of "Project Large Southpaw"? “The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, hearing the old ones wail, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters, while riding his gelding.” Genghis Khan | |||

I would be curious as to the status as well. I've passed up a couple good offers at the local shop in other variants... If something else come by at a price I can't refuse, I may just have to pass on the Zastava... | |||

Gents, Sorry about the huge delay in communications. I was at my FFL's yesterday to pick up a new shotgun, and he's STILL TRYING to get his European distributor to work something out with Zastava. Apparently, the 798's Remington were selling are not being made anymore. They do make their MODEL 7O IN THE LEFT HAND ACTION, and were trying to get something worked out on this. From what I've read, the 70 is not the same gun as the 798. ......Probably means MO MONEY, and that's not what were trying to do here. Counting what might possibly be a number to buy, 35 or so ain't gonna make it. Anyway, let's just wait and see..... Roger QSL | |||

I have my eye on a left handed M70 with a nice stock in 338 WM that I may buy and re-barrel to 458, if this deal doesn't go through.

Roger ; I'd love to have a lefty however I was informed several months ago ;
I will only add ;I attempted to access complete units http://www.zastava-arms.co.rs/cms/index.php?id=234 I also went to the trouble of having a college student translate an E mail of intent into Serbian , Just so there wouldn't be any mis communications . I sent that E mail which was returned along with an explanation in English . They appreciated the effort of my E mail and putting it into their native language . Unfortunately neither actions nor completed rifles could be sought , other than through their USA contacts ; Because of Legal contractual obligations and our Dept. of BAFTE rules and regulations concerning manufactures import export laws . They assured me I wasn't the first to inquire !. So as far as I know the M70 lefty isn't available here in the states ( Does someone else know differently ?. ) I'm listening . Remington to Import Zastava Rifles to U.S. Serbian weapons maker Zastava Oruzje has signed a U.S. importation agreement with Remington Arms Co. The agreement is worth 3.2 million US dollars. The deal involves the production for Remington of some 24,000 rifle barreled actions (without stocks) in various calibers. The rifles will be marked, "Remington-Zastava." Zastava sporting rifles were previously imported by K.B.I., Inc. of Harrisbu Zastava oružje AD, 4 Kosovska, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia Zastava arms Export-Import 12 Despota Stefana 11000 Belgrade Serbia phone> +381 11 3220 154 fax> +381 11 3224 679 e-mail> zastavaarms.impex@nadlanu.com  | |||

Doc, Thanks, you have done many of the things we've been trying. However, we ain't giving up the ghost yet. We will have definitive answers in the near future. Roger QSL | |||

I think I covered this on one of the other forums earlier this year. Remington lost the Zastava contract which is why “it’ll never happen” according to them. The current contract importer of the Zastava rifle is EAA Corp and they're selling the Zastava rifles through their USSG, Inc subsidiary. The Zastava M70 rifle is the same rifle that was sold as the Remington M798 (just had the Remington nomenclature stamped on the action at the factory, just as it previously had the Charles Daly name, and it is the same rifle being sold by USSG Inc as the Z98. The action is a pure M98 Mauser action and is actually a modern production of the FN M98 action from the 1950s…because Zastava purchased an entire assembly line from FN (I think back in the 70’s) and moved it to the now Serbia to produce the rifles. The side-button floorplate assembly is a pure Zastava item though Now Zastava does manufacture their M70 in left and right handed models…CM only, not positive about the SS as I couldn't confirm it with USSG Inc. So if you truly desire to have a left-handed Zastava rifle you need to start harassing USSG Inc and EAA Corp to import a left-handed Z98 rifle to make it happen. Or harass Brownell’s, or Midway, or one of the other major shops to seek actions or barreled actions in both right and left handed models from USSG Inc and EAA Corp…maybe it’d happen quicker that way. Here's a link to the USSG Inc website: http://www.ussginc.com/index.html Good luck. Jim  "Life's hard; it's harder if you're stupid" John Wayne | |||

I emailed them about getting LH actions/rifles in for us here. | |||

I just spoke to the guy at the EAA place about an order for LH rifles. He refused to discuss price with me since I am not a dealer and initially said we would need an order for several hundred LH rifles then settled on 500 for him to place an order. Jeff | |||
