CZ magazine. Cut?

[mievil]

I made an offer to buy a couple mags from a guy. Had him send me a pic.



I have a few different CZ mags, but none of them have a split through the body like this. I went to Google images and searched there, also and didn't see any.

Anyone know what's up with these?

Diffrent type/ homemade magblock?

[pc_load_letter]

That's weird for sure. None of my CZ mags have that.

I wonder if they were sold defective and some distributor picked them up to sell at a lower price?

[greybeard]

Is it a cut? The indentation on the side is not cut.

[Turbinator]

I thought I saw some mags cut like that to prevent you from "converting" them into holding more than 10 rounds, though the huge plastic baseplate pretty much also accomplishes that objective.

You can't convert those to more than ten rounds. The body of the mag isn't long enough. I don't think those are factory mags...

[Forever-A-Soldier]

I've got some that have a cut and are factory. I believe they are early models that complied with the 1994 Federal hi-cap magazine ban.

F.A.S. Out

Yeah, the seller said that they were offered in two configurations in 10rd mags. He said he bought them a while back in NY. He said they either had the cut, or the plastic baseplate to restrict capacity. How the cut restricted capacity? I have no idea. Maybe the intent was if you tried to remove the factory baseplate it would deform the mag and make it unusable?

They look like factory 10 rounders to me (CZ - Mecgar). Someone looks to have cut around it so they can't be converted to +10.

Theoretically, you could cut the indents out with a dremel... +10rds even with the large reducing plastic base-plate. Probably only 11rds, but still +10... not really worth the risk.

Anyway, cutting around the indents like that would prevent modification... unless you simply repaired the cut.

They are factory 10-rounders, and there are 2 versions.

Not sure if they're the newer or older 10 round mags.

Normal capacity mags, oem, show "MG-CZ75" near the bottom, and "MECGAR" stamped halfway down the mag.

My low-cap 10 has no cuts nor indents, just a plastic base plate. No marking on the mag. It came with the gun out of the factory box.

If you'd like it, $30 mailed to you, PM me if interested. Obviously, no issues with feeding, fit, etc. Only one.

It came that way from CZ.

If you're talented with a TIG and know how to use copper as a heat sink, it could be modified. TIG the cuts on each side with a heat sink inside, and then grind out the dimples. With the thick baseplate, you might be able to gain a round or 2.

But, that's a no-no to one degree or another in California.

i've bought a lot of used CZ mags and never seen that.

[killnjoke]

Id pass on those mags but thats just me.Never seen that either.

[mievil]

I did pass. I totally believe they are factory, but if no one knows what they do not hold the same value as a non-cut.
