CZ858 & AK Mags will they fit

[IDPACONVERT]

Just wondering if the 5/30 AK Mags or 5/75 Drums will fit the CZ858?

See the first couple of responses to your first question.

AK mags fit into the VZ-58/CZH858 the same way they fit into an AR-15.... NOT AT ALL.

No it wont fit

however i got one of those crappy cut down mags i have several 75/5 rnd drums and I may attempt to graft the top of the vz58 mag onto the ak drum...probably wont work but hey

Can they be modified slightly to fit?

To answer your question a little more fully than just shrieking "NO" at you like an angry girl:

AK magazines will not fit in a CZ858 because they are quite different interfaces. Not only are the dimensions of the magazine well different and the presentation of the bolt to the magazine lips, but very noticably the CZ858 mag has a rib running up the spine of the magazine that is intregal to it's function which the AK mag does not.

Could an AK mag be modded to work in a CZ858? The answer is twofold: Yes it can, but if you need to ask how then you can't do it.
