soulboy1957 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I have a cz in .222 flavour that I've had a long time, time has moved on and I'd like to use it with a night vision sight. I've tried clamp on weaver rail (rubbish). Can the breech be drilled tapped and a proper one fitted? As far as I can see no one makes one for the 527?

mick miller Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'm about to order one from the states, however postage (fast) for one is prohibitive. If I order two then we could split the costs and I can sort the forward postage here. On top of purchase price and shipping UK Customs will likely add a further charge for VAT and sometimes the courier also adds a charge. These seem to be the best though, aircraft grade aluminum, low profile and with a slot cut for the ejection port. They're also slightly extended beyond the regular dovetail length.

soulboy1957 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Sounds like a good idea Mick, which one, do you have a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 http://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1133585&CAT=3655 They won't ship internationally, but I can get someone else to ship it to the UK, it adds around 5 dollars to the cost. I'm not sure how this fits onto the rifle though, I haven't collected my 527 yet, so don't have anything to reference this to. I had assumed that there were already holes in the receiver and dovetail and that this would be a straight fit, however, if it requires that holes are drilled and tapped it complicates things. It looks like there's no clamp, it has to be fitted flush to the existing dovetail? Or possibly it slides on, and the grub screws index on some form of detent or hole on the dovetail?

mick miller Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I found out about this product from this post: http://www.scout.com/military/snipers-hide/forums/5519-gunsmithing/14434868-cz-527-milling-to-attach-custom-pic-rail Might make more sense to you. It may be that you have to slide the rail on and use the located set screws to apply upward force to the dovetail grooves, and this is what provides the securing force?

soulboy1957 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 No there are no holes in the receiver on the 527, so it looks like a drill and tap job. Thanks for the offer of sharing,please put me down for one mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulboy1957 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Looking closely at the pic it could be a slide on and clamp tight from the 8 Allen screws on the top?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) I think so yes, if you want I can work out an approximate cost. And no offence, but if you're interested I'd need at least part of the purchase price before I ordered two, not wanting to be stuck with one I can't use. I'll pm you some more info and a screen shot of the basket (to confirm I'm not fibbing about the shipping). As I said sometimes this stuff can sail through customs unaffected, more often it attracts some form of onward charge, DHL, for instance, frequently send me an invoice for customs and handling about three weeks after receipt.

mick miller Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yes, but as you are so busy with your Target Masters (very happy btw), you're unlikely to go into mass production anytime soon? Also, as I seem to have mislaid my lathe, workshop, milling machine and anodiser that leaves me little choice than to bend over and take the customs and shipping charges!

mick miller Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Yes, I saw that one. I don't like the clamping style as means the rail sits high above the dovetail, plus, it doesn't extend beyond the standard rail, which with add-ons and nv gear is really handy to have that extra forward reach. Kozap are a Czech company, they're only £30 from the Czech Republic but as they won't export either you have to pay the extra £30 charge from OW. I prefer the look of the American one, and from what I've read, the fit is better. But thanks for the link. You mean this one http://opticswarehouse.co.uk/product/kozap-cz527-hex-clamp-1-piece-weaver-picatinny-rifle-base/(out of stock btw).

deeksofdoom Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi Guys I have a dip products .20 moa rail, DIP Products inc. will not ship outside the states. But I managed to order mine through Kinneys shooting supplies, they are also in the states the total cost of this was $59.30 that was nearly 4 years ago now and they are an excellent piece of kit. They slide onto the CZ lugs you tightenen them up using a bit of thread locking glue and bobs your uncle. The part may not be listed on their site but send them and a mail and they will be able to get one. http://kinneysshootingsupply.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order had been placed but not processed yet, maybe he's away for a few days? When did you put in the order? Maybe they don't work Saturdays? When I ordered mine they didn't have any in stock so they had to be manufactured, it took nearly a month but it was well worth the wait.
