Short Magazine in a CZ 527 without bottom metal?

[sicero]

Any one besides Ray Hauver and I thought of a short magazine in a CZ 527.
The magazine fastened to the action and load from the top.
Holds one or two rounds.

I have made a couple single shot CZ rifles with a Marlin trigger guard and no bottom metal in front of the guard.

It sure makes for a clean looking stock.

Most of the time, I have no use for a second or third round,
but it might be nice or at least different. Kenny

Well now......I've only converted about 800 of these to short mag

It certainly can be done. And you are correct. Looks and handles a whole lot better

I must not have explained this very well.

As in no magazine showing, more like a Remington ADL.

Looks a lot cleaner to me. Kenny

In other words, Kenny, you want a boxed/enclosed magazine i.e. the Rem ADL models, that would also require a solid stock also, would it not ? Bill K

Kenny,

If no need of a second or more rounds, Is a Calhoon Single-shot adapter not what you describe. They are quality, machined steel stock and work quite well. Come in Small (Hornet, Fireball and 222 sized cartridges) and Large (all the other: 223-204-7.62).

I re-read your OP. and I understand better now what you are indicating....No access through/from the bottom metal, but a shallow internal magazine to load 1-2 rounds through the bolt when pulled back. I have not seen or heard of anything like this in the CZ 527. But, the older Brnos (ZKK 601) had this type of magazine with the double-set triggers. Great design, and they carry a high-$ price tag when you can find one for sale.

If you have an easy design for a 527, I think you would have something...I know I would like to see one...

Bill I think it would work. .

I have plenty of parts to work with.

My single shots now have a marlin trigger guard and a solid wood bottom

better looking. Kenny

Were you thinking of just shortening a factory magazine and using the depth of the cutout to hold it in place? It would be interesting to see how hard it is to load a magazine while it is in the action, from the top.

I wonder if the mag box and follower from a sako L461 could be made to work? I'm betting that whatever you end up with will need to be a center feed box unless there is work done to the bottom of the 527 action rails. I don't know what they look like.

I also think a good idea would be, drag a rifle out and see how a round loads from the top.

In the past,I never put a round in the rifle when varmint hunting.

It's different in Ohio now, WE HAVE COYOTES. Kenny
