    I'd love to modify my CZ 527's so they look like yours.

    Thanks

    PS: Oh and, hello from the US kia ora.
    you can find them on american forums, one shop even sold them as a swap a modified one for yours in the states
    the one thing that would make them even better would be reshape the trigger gaurd to a sako style tear drop design, it would be difficult

    @Tuidog he doesn't frequent the forums anymore. Post up your questions and I'll get it to him.

    @Timmay

    After how he did the internal mods. I'm guessing he trimmed down the existing box mag so he had the feed lips, then loading the mag would require the case being pushed forward then pulled back in under the lips.

    Thanks @Timmay

    Hi @Tuidog, I tried your method first and it was very fussy and didnt load well. So I tig'd in a rail on each side of the mag well, and milled a copy of a kimber montana mag follower. I did it to be able to double stack, and remove the feeding issues. It needed some grinding of the action in front of the mag to feed. It wasnt much better but at least it fed reliably then.

    If I was to do it again on a 527 I wouldn't bother with blind mag, nice to carry but not worth the effort. Id butchered the mag in the first setup so buggered myself really. If I had to do it again, I'd just cut back the existing mag to be flush and grind the trigger guard to suit. No feeding issues and nice slim profile. Hope this helps.
