CZ-527 build as a 300-221

I know amafrank did this once because I saw posts on another forum about barrel threading. Frank are you around?

Does anyone have experience with this? I talked to a guy who was plenty happy with his.

It's a micro-mauser action (scaled down in every dimension), light, the ones I played with were very smooth, detachable box mag is standard, and the set trigger seems pretty nice (push forward to 'set' then it has a very light pull).

The only thing I heard about them is the mag needs a modification to accept the 30 cal bullets, but I don't know what needs to be done. Also, I heard the 7.62x39 mags might work with no mods.

Anyone?

The rifles are very nice and make a great whisper platform. The mags are indeed a problem though. They have guide ribs to hold a .223 bullet centered so that needs to be worked out in order to get .30 cal bullets in the same space. I don't know if 7.62X39 mags will fit. The action is very solid, the extractor is outstanding and the adjustable single/set trigger makes this one a sweetheart to shoot.
Hope that answers the question

Frank,

Thanks. I kinda got into the 223 rifle on a whim so I'm glad to hear it's a good host.

Can you explain a little bit about the mag modification?

Thanks

This is an AR mag with the same mod

They do the same thing to the CZ. It's not necessary in the AR IHO, but I hear the CZ needs it. The CZ is BAD ASS by the way.

Hmmmm.....

I understand the idea, I'm not sure if I like the mag being open like that though. It looks to me like the cut wouldn't completely be covered by the magwell.

I'll have to think about this for a bit.

Alleycat, sent to a PM.
