Title: Mag base for CZ-50/70 question?
Post by: kruuth on March 03, 2022, 07:22:33 AM
Does anybody know where to get these, or better yet, if something else fits?  I have two of these with the original black bakelite finish plastic bases, and both have broken.  The mag still works, just looks a little off.  Is there an aftermarket, or maybe something for another pistol I can slide on there?

I did a quick search of various parts houses and didn't find any magazine baseplates for CZ50 or CZ70.

If you can find a tech school with a laser part scanner and a 3D thermoplastic printer, they might be able to fabricate one for you.

I have the thermoplastic printer.  The problem is that the lip is very thin, and all the materials I've tried don't hold up, hence why I was asking if there was some aftermarket part, or maybe something I could pull off another magazine to use.

I went and compared my Vz50 and Vz70 mag base plates with my only other .32 caliber gun... Beretta 1032 Tomcat.

No way that its base plate could be used.

When I purchased my Vz70 years back I ordered another magazine from TripleK.

One seller on eBay has NINE (9) of them but wants $56.50 apiece!!

That might be your best option...unless you want to try using a plastic repair compound to fix the one that you have.
It would be cheaper.

the Triple K website has the vz 50 and vz 70 mags for $40 each

I replaced one several years ago.  I think the donor part was off a Walther PP in .32. 

Had to cut a small slot on one side for the locking tab on the mag spring.

I’ll go back through my old gun parts orders to try to confirm the part.

Update - finally found the order invoice.

I ordered "misc620, PPK Magazine Finger Rest" from Sarco back in 2019.  Price was $5.95.

No longer available. 

It slid right on, just had to cut a small notch for the end of the mag spring.

I took some pictures but have never broken the code for posting them here.
