goldypurple Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi guys Anyone know whether you can change the hinged floorplate spring magazine, for a removable magazine? i dont know what model it is yet, but the cal is .243. Thanks in advance Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixer1 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Sounds like a CZ550 i think as thats the only one as far as i'm aware?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 If it's a CZ550, mine used to have a detachable magazine, so it can be done. No idea how though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 at a guess more expensive than buying a rifle without a floorplate. The remi 700 conversions just make it not worthwhile financially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Don't despise the floor plate layout it has its advantages also Edited August 8, 2011 by kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldypurple Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 what are the advantages then please kent, i spose the first one is you cant loose your mag or leave it at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 you do get used to them especially if you just load from the top. They are flush to the stock so don't snag on anything, as you say they can't be lost or left behind just makes unloading a bit of a faff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) what are the advantages then please kent, i spose the first one is you cant loose your mag or leave it at home. no protruding mag, this can be an issue in some stances Can't drop the mag in undergrowth unseen Can keep it stacked up from the top as you use one, pop another in (not all detchable mags allow this) Two unload drills work, drop them all in a hat or cycle each in turn though the action. To unload a chambered round and close the bolt on an empty chamber try this. Remove the chambered round by withdrawing bolt, push down the next round in the magazine with your fingers so no new round is chambered and carefully move bolt forwards ensuring no new round is accidently chambered visually. When you wish to re-load either just cycle the bolt if instantly required. Alternetively pull the bolt back,insert removed round into mag well and move bolt forwards picking up last round inserted. I have removed from this all mention of safety catch use in cycling the bolt as not all guns allow you to work the bolt with the safety catch still applied Edited August 9, 2011 by kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixer1 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I just push the trigger guard catch an the rounds drop into your hand, and I also use the "push the top round down and the bolt forward thing" One other thing is capacity - your average db mag hold 3 or 4 rounds, I can get 6 + 1 in the chamber...handy if you are out for the day and don't want to carry rounds elsewhere.

jason kaye Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 The 550 comes with detatchable mag in .243 ,sounds like a cz601 zkk,and like others have stated it would be pretty expensive to change it ,but you do get used to it and as said can't be left at home or lost out in the field :blink: Jase.
