527 .223 REM mags available?

[ranger1183]

anyone know where I can find CZ 527 magazines for .223 Remington?  Either 5 round or 3 round will do.  Anyone know if .300 Blackout, .17 remington or .204 Ruger magazines will work as a substitute for the 527 in .223?

I've used the 223 and 17 Rem magazines interchangeably with out any problems. You can use 204 Ruger magazines (only a limited amount of trial here but it works for me) with 223 Remington ammo but cant use 223 magazines with 204 ammo. The magazines recoil shoulders on the 204 magazines are farther forward for this round to accommodate the 204's longer case length.

thank you!  apparently CZ just shipped a bunch as they popped up on Gunbroker.  Got a few, thank goodness!

Even when everything guns and ammo isn't crazy the 527 magazines can be a bit hit or miss as far as availability. Getting them when you find them makes sense.

Hit and miss is no joke!  Just got two emails from the sellers I bought CZ .223 magazines from on Gunbroker.  All purchases cancelled!  So, I am once again looking for CZ 527 .223 Magazines.  Any help out there?  [sad face]

Brownells list 17 Remington CZ 527 mags as in stock at $45 each. Midsouth Shooters Supply has the same mags for $42.
