Went looking for this, found this thread. Pretty clear I wont get my hands on one I suppose - which is fine. Just throwing my hat in the ring for what its worth.
Would love to buy a 10 rounder. Not interested in paying premium for a factory 5 rounder. In my opinion the magazine is the least compelling or logical feature of the 527 (at least mine, a 7.62 carbine). Single stack 7.62 is a mild (mild) annoyance to load yet 5 rounds is not a compelling reason to own more mags. On top of that if we're talking about ~5 rounds, I'd rather have a built in standard double stack internal magazine which would certainly fit 5 and reduce needless complication. I prefer pushing down rounds into an internal double stack mag than loading a removable single stack. Also, while its very clear it was designed with a relief in the extractor to single feed, its still uncomfortable to single feed due to the mauser controlled feed. I like single loading at the range but I tend not to with this because of the nature of controlled feed combined with feed lips of a detachable mag. If I single load and I snap that little thing I'll have no one to blame but myself.
I realize I'm splitting hairs here and I hope its clear that I am, but if the president of CZ came to my door and asked me my opinion that would be it. On the other hand if 10 rounders were available then having a detachable magazine is suddenly much more worthwhile conceptually.
