CZ 83 7.65mm Magazines
« on: October 13, 2020, 05:28:05 PM »
Has anyone tried using CZ 83 magazine Springs made for the 9X18 mags in the 7.65mm version?  Will Springs only has the ones for 9mm Makarov.  Thank you. 8)

The only difference between the 7.65 and .380/9 Make magazines is the mag body itself.

Followers and springs are the same for all calibers. At one point it was difficult to get replacement magazine springs, not sure if that's still the case but I remember reading that Beretta 81 series mag springs will work.

Thanks for the reply.  Before 5 years ago when I got my CZ 83 7.65mm I was able to get a recoil spring from CZ USA but I believe it was for the Makarov version of the pistol.  It seems to be the same as what is on my pistol.  With the recoil spring that I bought work?  Thank you

All recoil springs for the 83 are the same across all 3 calibers. You tend to get more mileage out of a recoil spring in the .32 though.

Please let me correct myself.  Wolf springs has the CC 82 83 recoil springs for the 9mm Makarov available-for-sale and not the magazine springs for which I was seeking.
