CZ 858 Magwell adapters.

Hey Mr Wolverine, any updates on the development of the aluminum magwell for 5.56 version of the csa vz 58?

I always wanted to build a NR CSA vz 58 with Chromelined barrel, and the ability to accept stanag magazines (esp Pmags)

Any updates would be great. Even if the response is a no, at least I'll know and will spend the money on something else. Thanks!

I see no reason why a B&T CZ 858 adapter could not be fitted to a CSA rifle, this would require some carefull custom fitting. We have no plans to design any new adapters.

IIRC, arent those adapters for 7.62x39 only? Would they work with CSA 5.56, using 5.56 ar15 magazines?

They are intended for 7.62x39, but IIRC someone on CGN put one on a CSA 5.56 rifle in order to use LAR mags. It can be done, talk to your gunsmith.

Are the 7.62x39 AR mags the same dimensions(as far as the magwell geometry, I know 7.62 usually curves more) as standard 5.56 AR mags?
 
My csa adapter and 7.5" csa Vz58 in 7.62x39 work perfectly, no issues at all. Bang, bang, bang... ten times, mags drop free, perfect. No last shot mag hold open, but I can handle that. BTW, the Dlask XB2 makes the shorty no louder than a longer CZ, though I can't testify what it sounds like downrange...

Hey all.
Don't mean to thread necro.

Want to see if this mag adapter,
B&T AG CZ 858 AR15 Magwell Adapter
http://www.wolverinesupplies.com/details/8760/BandT-AG-CZ-858-AR15-Magwell-Adapter.aspx

Depends on the receiver. I've seen CSA receivers that it will drop into, and some that won't.

Still requires machining or can just be bought and put onto the rifle by a basic user?

Regards,

for 5.56 these work great. There are 3 of us that have the vz 58 with these adapter and they run any AR mag LAR XCR 10 round mags. never a malfunction. forget last round bolt open though, even though they come with a bolt catch, they will jam up as they dont always catch the follower and the bolt will ride over it mushrooming the head. Best thing you can do is grind off the tab that is supposed to catch the follower. This way you can manually lock the bolt back with it. CSA said they only tested the mag catch with 3 types of high quality mags so don't guarantee its operation on any other mags.

Apologies for the grave-dig, but I thought it would be better to post here rather than create a new thread.

Anyways... I've got a 2014-manufactured CSA 7.62x39 and I *think* the magwell adapter might drop in, as the inside dimensions are within the 64mm mark for length. Only problem is that the upper portion by the handguard looks a lot different from other receiver pics posted in this thread thus far... anyone have an idea if this will still affect fitment?

Gonna necro this....

I just ordered the bt adapter for my cz858... Hoping I can do the mod myself. I don't mind setting up my heavy duty drill press and machinists vise and give it a go. Going slowly with sharp tools should cut it fine. But does anyone have actual measurements on what needs to be removed? I do have the document from Wolverine but it isn't very clear honestly
 
Sweet

Let us know how it turns out! I have a vz58 sported in .223 with the polymer adapter but I'd really like to get an aluminum one the b and t adapter is the only option out there but I don't know how well it works with the .223 and how hard it would be to fit my rifle
 
Yea we'll see. I think I can machine it myself, drill press and high speed cutters, doing it in small bits, should work decently. May not be super pretty buy I think it will look decent honestly.

I'm also wondering what mags I need? I know some guys have said the newer XCR mags don't work, others have said C products mags do work or don't work. What's the final answer? Can I just go buy XCR pistol mags and be happy?
 
I went to see my local machinist last week to see what his thoughts would be on replicating the CDs Magwell adapter for the .223 version. He made one up for me and I fit it to my gun. Looks pretty good!! Except the rough paint job I did on it. But it seems to function very well with dummy rounds and the last round bolt hold works too!! I just have to field test it when j have a chance.
 
What was the cost to have it made just curious? I have been toying with the idea and didn't have good luck with the b&t one. Haven't tried the polymer Csa but like the functionality me controls of it. Did you have the 223 rifle or 7.62?
 
I have the .223 version I had bought the plastic adapter for it. It works great but not very rugged so I wanted a steel or aluminum one but havnt had any luck finding a manufacturer so the machinist I know made it for me. Charged me 400$ ! Its a lot to spend but I figured in a shtf scenario I'd rather have somthing that could take a beating.
