Robertsons gets a +1 from me.  Genuine Pre B mags, good condition  and
priced right.

The funny thing is that I have owned only one Pre B that would not take current magazines, a 1980's Bauska.  But my later Action Arms 1994 production took current magazines.  My 1984 Swiss Pre B Bauska also does.

Check out the Mother Ship.  Just noticed CZ-USA is listing Pre B magazines

I just submitted an order to CZ-USA for some of these "Pre-B".  I hope they will work in my CZ 75 I imported from Canada back in the days when that was the only way you could get a CZ 75 unless you were stationed in Europe and brought one back from there.  I'll report on how they work when I get them.

Just received my 4 "Per-B" CZ75 magazines fro CZ-USA.  What do you want first the good new or the bad or the really bad news?  First, my CZ75 is a 1987 vintage.  OK, the really bad news.  One of the magazine I received WILL NOT even fully seat into the pistol. In fact, it gets STUCK in the magazine well. I had to tap it out using a wood dowel and plastic hammer.  Two other magazines go into the pistol but do not drop free. And yes I have modified the magazine break (did that years ago).  Now the good news, one magazine works great.  Goes in slicker than snot on a marble floor and drops free like Fat Boy did from the B29.

Also ordered a set of walnut grips.  Not impressed.  They are walnut but got some kind of black finish on them.  

Still deciding what I going to do about magazines and grips.  Any suggextions?

Did you try the magazines with the new grips or the originals?

[The Wizard]

Took one look at the grips and decided not to even take the out of the package.

The Mecgar mag sold by CDNN for the EAA Witness fits fine. No drop free, but fits and cycles correctly.

do the eaa witness mags get hung up in the magwell? And I am trying to find the pre-B 75 mags on cdnn, no luck.

Ordering Pre-B magazines from CZ-USA is no guarantee that they will "drop free" when used with a Pre-B CZ75.  Just got 3 replacement Pre-B magazine from CZ-USA for the 3 I return because of problems mentioned earlier.  Onlt one "drops free". The other two fit but need to be pulled all the way out.

I bought four mags fromm CDNN about six years ago and they all functioned just fine in my pre-B. I guess it's a crapshoot.
