No date on the article, sorry if it is old news.




Slagga’s take on the VSS, dubbed the Viska, will essentially be the same gun though in semi-automatic form. Like the VSS, the Viska can be taken down quickly for transport or storage thanks to a quick-detach stock and suppressor. According to the company, the suppressor will use a mono-core baffle, enhancing its noise-reduction capabilities.

Buyer beware, that will require two tax stamps to comply with NFA regulations — one to cover the suppressor and one to cover the fact that the Viska is technically a short-barreled rifle.

Slagga is also in the process of developing a pair of non-NFA versions of the Viska, including one with a pistol brace and a threaded muzzle, and the second a rifle version with a fixed stock and a 16-inch barrel shrouded by a faux suppressor.

For now, the Viska will use a side rail to mount SVD and AKM-style scopes, and will feed from 10 or 20-round polymer magazines. Purists breathe ease, the Viska will be chambered in 9x39 mm like the VSS, though the company also plans on developing versions in 300 Blackout and 7.62x39 mm.

The company plans on taking pre-orders for the rifle for $3000 apiece, but an opening date for the orders or the release of the gun hasn’t yet been set.

Need one just so I can LARP my avatar.

Also, woohoo, plans for AS VAL conversion:

Neat!

Definitely would be an interesting twist on the “Truck Gun” .

still holding my breath.....This has been in the works for awhile, but so was the KR-9 IIRC. So there is hope!

This and a DeLisle carbine and I'd be a happy camper!

You have good taste in firearms.

<snip> edited the curse words, remember this IS NOT GD. dryflash3 If this makes it to market(especially now Krebs and Wolf bringing in 9x39mm) I may have to just see about filling out that immigration paperwork... A VSS/Val/SR3 trifecta is a literal pipe dream come true.

ETA: MY GOD.  Didn't even see the part about attempting a Canadian market attempt when possible. <snip> Never get here thanks to our laws and most recent bans but damn.... That'd be the dream.  Even with shitty 5 round mags and a fake extra long suppressor...
