    really looking forward. This will be a great improvement. Any change the B&T will have a left handed mag release?

    The mag release will be on the left side as shown in the photo.

    Can the XCR magazines be reloaded with a stripper clip through the top of the gun?

    Stripper clips work but tough to get the last rd in.

    Well I might have to pull the CZ 858 out of the safe and get it rebarreled. Looking forward to the B & T adapter.

    sorry for my ignorance, does that mean that the adapter for the 7.62x39 mags are in stock? or is that a csa 223 one made to fit on a cz?

    There are two mag well adapters, or rather there will be two.

    Firstly CSA have made an adapter from polymer, this was designed for the CSA guns in .223. It features a RHS mag release and a bolt hold open catch. Sells for $85.00. I have had the CZ 858 (caliber 7.62x39)machined so that the adapter will fit and function. I have used these in several CSA guns and one CZ 858. The major problem that I am encountering in both calibers and makes of guns is that the bolt catch will catch on the rim of a rd and engage prematurely. Shortening this catch may improve it.

    Secondly we have commissioned Brugger & Thomet to make us a mag well adapter, this is designed to fit the CZ 858 in 7.62x39. We see no reason why this will not work in a CSA gun. All guns will require some machining in order to accept the AR15 magazine. It is possible that all later CSA guns will not require any machining but until we have a B&T adapter here to try I cannot be certain. The B&T adapter is machined from aluminium, has a LHS mag release and no bolt catch. Retail $185.00 ETA is mid Dec.

    Both adapters are designed to use AR15 type mags, this enables the use of 10 rd LAR 15 and XCR Pistol mags in .223 and the 10 rd XCR Pistol mag in 7.62x39. we have both mags in stock for $29.95

    Once the CZ 858 (caliber 7.62x39) is machined will it still accept the original mags if the adapter is removed?
    Cheers,
