CZ 600 Trail 7.62x39 a few mods.

The last shipment is on the way. The new modern buttplate will be delivered tomorrow ( https://doublestarusa.com/mortar-plate-with-push-button-sling-swivel.html ). All other parts needed for this modification, such as a 0.5" recoil pad, an AR-15 buffer tube, and a fixed Picatinny adapter, are already in my possession. The buffer tube will be cut near the threaded end.

The replacement of the buttplate is finished. It looks good.

I attached it to the rifle.

I have created a shorter Picatinny adapter to enhance the rifle's appearance.

The CZ 600 Trail modifications have been completed. All buttstocks fit the rifle perfectly and can be used on any firearm with a Picatinny rail end.

Monaderio--

I enjoy seeing all what you have done here.  You are a very creative and skillful rifle owner, that's for sure! 

How do you intend to use the rifle, most of the time?  And with what weight bullet?

Thanks for posting all of this, not that I'd do one tenth of what you have done here, should I ever get a trail version even in 5.56.

I will occasionally use it at the shooting range, using only brass-cased target ammo with a 124 g bullet weight.
On the CZ website, there are three options available for the CZ 600 Trail rifle: CZ 600 Trail 223 Rem, CZ 600 Trail 7.62x39, and CZ 600 Trail 300 AAC. You have the freedom to choose which one to buy. I decided to purchase the Trail for 7.62x39 ammo because I already have other firearms that use the same type of ammo.

One more thing I forgot to mention is that to prevent wobbling when using a folding buttstock, I drilled and threaded two holes in the existing guide rails and stock, then secured them with M5 screws.

The CZ 600 Trail rifle delivers good results in indoor shooting range at approximately 20-25 yards.

Because the 10-round magazine is unreleased in the USA (https://www.vz58usa.com/product/cz-bren-2-cz-600-trail-magazine-10-rd/), I converted the 10-round polymer AK-47 magazine to fit the CZ 600 trail rifle. It is a prototype. The next one will be better.

Another Tapco AK-47 magazine has been enhanced and is ready for use with the CZ 600 Trail. It fits perfectly.

I bought the CZ Bren 2 original 30-round magazine, and it fits, but it's a bit tight. Both the 10-round and 30-round mags appear identical. However, the CZ website states that the 30-round mags are not compatible. Sanding a small area on the edge of the magazine fixes any issues.

Here are a few pictures with the 30-round magazine inserted.

All magazines passed the shooting test perfectly.
