Machining a CSA AR15 Magwell Adapter (5.56) to fit CSA VZ.58 in 7.62x39

[Waldanes]

Hello CGN Community,

I humbly seek your assistance. As far as my research has shown, if I wish to take advantage of utilizing XCR 10 Round magazines, I must purchase the B&T magwell adapter. This is an unfortunate case of my personal preference for the features on the CSA AR15 Magwell adapter — features such as the bolt hold-open, and right side mag-release.

My question for the community is, if I were to purchase the CSA AR15 Magwell Adapter designed for the 5.56, would gunsmithing/machining my CSA VZ58 be a viable option to fit the CSA AR15 Magwell Adapter not designed for the 7.62x39 versions of the VZ? Or can it even be done?

As far as I know the the XCR 10 Round magazines are 'stagnag' shaped, and should theoretically take the XCR magazines, however, I could not find examples of this on the forum.

Any help or insight anyone can provide would be of great help, much appreciated as a first time poster.

Thanks ahead of time,

W.

40-50 bucks for a csa 5.56 mag maybe pick one up and compare it to the 7.62 mags for size around the top of the mag.

Or ask someone who has both

Thanks for responding Jake,

I was hoping for a spot of luck to see if anyone on CGN has experience with both, or maybe has owned a couple VZ58's and might have purchased both magwells or has had gunsmithing done to get their opinions. I'm just reluctant to spend money one something before I know if it will produce the results I'm expecting.

Cheers,

W.
