20-rd. "OEM" quality VZ-58 mags. Are any avail.?
« on: January 20, 2021, 01:16:58 AM »
Days ago I stumbled onto what appeared to be a true Czech 20-rd. mag. Forgot to note the retail seller business' name.

With my imported AKMs... Only the Hun. Tanker mags are used. Really like the ergos. Side note: Obviously TN residents have no restrictions on mag. capacity.

Any info is appreciated for a US business selling such, if they were manufactured in the Czech Republic.

Can’t find any on their website.

That’s what prompted my question here.

Luckily I’m not preparing for the Battle of Ramadi II, hence the preference for better ergos.

vz58usa has aluminum 15 round magazines, supposedly in stock.  They also have the newer CSA poly 20 round magazines.  I got a couple of the CSA 30 round poly magazines with my last rifle purchase and they seem pretty stout, it's just hard for me to get used to a clear plastic magazine.

Good luck with your search!

wyoplinker: thanks very much.

I certainly have trouble here and there with certain product searches .

Appreciate the link, also.
Will buy a couple after Krav Maga class (I’m 65—Krav late bloomer...).

They list 5, 10 & 15 round aluminum mags.

These seem to be stock, 30 round mags cut down to smaller sizes. The quality/ fit/ function is very high.

Only 20 round I know of is the factory polymer 20.
Way back when someone in the Czech Republic was cutting down surplus mags to 10s and would sell a handful every so often on eBay. I grabbed a few for bench mags and the hack job looked good.

But never seen anyone cut down VZ 30s to 20s. A guy on the AK boards was cutting down AK surplus 30s to 20s and did a fine job, but wasn’t interested in trying VZ mags.

Personally 20s in any platform are the ‘sweet spot’ for me, short enough for bench but enough to get the job done.
