Hey folks
ordered 3 polymer mags from Epps.
got 2 metal mags in the mail.
Well great ..yay
nope suckers don't seat.??
These are 17 hmr / 22 wmr metal mags.
Are these just for 455 and 452 guns?

the oem polymer same markings.
Thanks so much in advance

Just get ahold of them and explain ur situation. I know its a pain but theyre good to deal with and have been in business for a long time. Theyll make things correct

I will , but spent a long time talking to the tech . Just looked it up they fit 452/453 rifles..dang that sucks.
Should have removable stickers that say the guns the mag might be ok for.

I’m really interested in this as I’d like to order a 10 round mag for my 457 (no one in Edmonton seems to stock them in 22LR).

What’s the deal with this? I thought they were all interchangeable.

I’m reading they’re all interchangeable:

Edit: looks like 22LR are interchangeable but not the magnums.

Did you take out the spacer in the magwell?

 

[levigarrett]

its a 17 hmr rifle.
The confusion is from what research done, is in the lr versus hmr.
lr mags swap fine ..not so for the mag mags.lol
So we all learn stuff ... mail the kit back .get money back find a source..

CZ metal mags sometimes don't seat properly in the 455 and 457. One solution is to loosen the two screws that hold the mag well so it will shift slightly, insert the mag, then retighten the screws. There's enough tolerance in the mag well to accomodate this.

Anyone reading this thread be advised that it gets confusing ��
Don't think model , think caliber.. Comments that say its all good are referring to the lr.

17HMR magazines for the 452/453 are not the sames as 455/457.

A hard second on that. Ive always had good luck but purchased directly when Ive been in the area. Guess I wont darken their door again. Ive ordered lots from GBT,Tesro and Buulseye and no problems with any. Oh and Calgary Shooting Centre is great as well!
