Cz-527 Rifle Magazine Conversion

Written by Roy Bertalotto on September 1, 1999 - View Comments

We perform a modification to the magazine and the trigger guard on the CZ-527 that converts the exposed, some feel rather ugly, drop down magazine to a more modern looking flush mounted magazine.

P1010003-vi

P1010002-vi

Here's what we do:
Mill the trigger guard to a flush bottom fit. We do not offer blueing, so we coat the trigger guard with KG GunKote 1600 Teflon Semi Gloss finish. This is a baked on finish that is Mil Spec and matches the factory finish very well. Cut the magazine down to a flush fit. Depending on caliber, roughly a ?? of the magazine will extend down below the stock Modify the magazine release. By the way, we no longer offer this conversion on the 22 Hornet. CZ has changed these magazine to include lots of plastic parts that do not lend themselves to this procedure and feeding problems result. Sorry......7.62, 222, 17Rem, 221FB, 204 Ruger and 223 Rem work great....

All of this is done for $75.00 which includes shipping back to you. Extra magazine can be modified for $30 each. But be aware, a standard length magazine will still fit the conversion. Some folks purchase a second magazine and keep it long for when more ?fire power? is needed. This conversion will result in the magazine holding two rounds.

You need to ship us the trigger guard, the magazine and the magazine finger release.

DO NOT SHIP THE WHOLE RIFLE!!!!

Please Email us for shipping instructions. Do not ship anything without emailing us first. rvb100@comcast.net

Here are what some folks are saying about our work:

Hi Roy - I just got my CZ 527 bottom metal & magazine back today - and they never looked so good ! What a terrific job you did! I love the conversion to the shorter magazine - the rifle looks 200% better, and the parts you worked on would pass as "factory" ! The metal finish is a perfect match to the rest of the gun, and I don't find a need to file a second finger recess in the stock wood, opposite the clip release - so it looks like I'm good to go. Thank you, very much, for doing such a nice job - and in such a timely manner, too.
Roy, My CZ conversion arrived today. Excellent job! It adds a touch of class to an already fine little rifle.

I just wanted to say thanks. My CZ-527 looks pretty sharp with the magazine conversion.”…JD

Got the parts back for my CZ today. They look great, and seem to function like they should.

Thanks for a painless transaction and doing exactly what you said you would in a timely mannor.  CR

 

Roy,

Hello Roy    received the .17 & .204 parts sat 6-30-07,  you did a supper job on all the parts, and after putting the rifles back togeather I could not be more pleased. they now look like custom rifles instead of looking junkie with the long clips and gussets on the trigger guards. thank you for such a great and timely job   DW

 

Hi Roy,

 

Just got the parts back today.  Great Job!  The fit and finish are excellent and the operation of the magazine so far is flawfless.  It's a 100% improvement over the original design.  And, to top it off, it can hold three rounds (I was expecting only two).  Thanks ……

 

Roy,
 
I posted a few pics on some forums that I frequent so hopefully you'll get some more business your way.
 
I can't tell you how happy I am with the mod.  Outstanding job, sir.
