Where can I buy VZ 10 round double stack magazine floor plates?
« on: November 08, 2014, 01:02:57 AM »
I want to make some 20 round mags and I need some 10 round double stack mag floor plates.  It looks like Czechpoint has them on their old site but not on their new site.  I emailed them and no response yet... though it was end of day Friday.  Here is the link from their old site (I think) which I cannot order from:

http://test24.nowonet.com/products/spare-parts-and-accessories/vz-58-parts-and-accessories/10-rd-double-stack-magazine-floor-plate-us-made/

Does anyone else have these in stock?  I checked all the major VZ suppliers I know of with no luck.

That's the same as the standard aluminum floorplate.  Just polymer and US made as the CSA rifles rely on the floorplate and follower for 922r compliance... 

That's not the floorplate you need for doing mag conversions.  Those come out of the Czech Republic.  Not aware of a source.

Maybe I am misunderstanding but I don't think that is correct.  I think this is the part you are talking about. It looks just like the standard plate with the angled tail except it is US made polymer:

The one I posted above is totally flat.  The base plate lips extend deeper into the magazine so instead of bending new lips on a shortened mag, you mill slots into the body of the shortened mag and the 10 round base plate reaches all the way into those slots.  This is really tough to understand without pics, so here's a link to some pics:

I'm not 100% sure here but that is how I understand this method of modifying the mags.

Yes, looks like they are different.  Sorry for the confusion.

The only place I see those type of floor plates domestically are on these mags from these guys: http://www.rrcfirearms.com/pd-czech-vz-58-10rd-mag.cfm

Possible that they can hook you up?

Zahal has two 10 rounders on their site.  Only one has that floorplate and is the one out of stock: http://www.zahal.org/products/sa-vz-58-10rd-pistol-mag?path_parent=278948

Thanks for the info. Zahal said they were out. Czechpoint said they are also out but expecting them in by February. I don't want to wait that long but I might not have a choice.

Anybody else know where to try? Maybe somewhere in Canada or other place that will ship to the US?

Hey guys! Long time lurker, first post.
I've used two of these converted 10 round magazines in my 3rd gen VZ-2008, and they run 100%.
It's a well done conversion using the original floorplates, and you don't have to get them shipped from Israel!

The first one I ordered had the (somewhat worn) original finish, and the second had a new flat black finish.
These are the same magazines sold in this KGB tactical "occupied states" kit :

I know it's not quite what you're looking for, but I hope this helps!
