Both CSA and North Sylva have been listening to opinions and concerns on the CSA AR-15 magwell adapter.

As a result of the feedback provided by the consumers, CSA has made a second generation magwell adapter that is a considerable improvement and deal with some of the issues from the original unit.

The main changes in design include reinforcements into the unit itself which greatly increases the stiffness and durability of the unit. It also has a more prononced flare which aids in mag changes and also add a bit more stiffness to the unit overall.

The location of the mag release button remains unchanged and will be a very familiar feel to those already used to the AR-15/M4 set ups.

Here are a few pictures to show the new design.

For those of us who bought the "early" cz carbines, do these fit in the magwell without the machining mods? Or is machining unavoidable for us?

I bought one of the first gen kits before looking at my serial number (dumb I know) and because of how the new bolt catch / hold open is made I doubt you can fit much else in there.

But let's wait for the official answer :p

x5!

Also, any news on whether or not CSA found a machine shop in Canada to do the necessary mods on the early rifles? The only reason I bought mine in .223 was the promised AR mag adapter at the time... and now that it's here, my rifle is a no-go.

:confused:
 
Just got interested in the CZ58 in 5.56 very recently, so I'm playing catch up here. This adapter will allow it to use the 10 round LAR15 mag correct?
 
Those look real good. Makes me wanna get one even more now.

I would also like to know if they took owners of early CZ's into account when the revised their design and if they are a drop in fit or still require slight machining.

Yes.

We have found a shop that will do the modification. It will not however be announce until after the SHOT show.

Stay tuned..
 
3 things:

1) Has anybody put up an installation video/picture guide of these or will there be? Is installation a pain in the ass? Hate playing with little bits and springs w/o definitive knowledge things will go right or have a proper step by step guide to follow.

2) When will dealers have these.

3) Am I good to assume the last batch of 223 models that came with the woodchip furniture(not the skeleton stock versions) are good to go in terms of not needing modifications?
