    CZ 527 magazine

    Will the new CZ 527 use a Grendel specific magazine or will one of the 7.62x39 magazines work reliably?

      7.62 x 39 mag works flawlessly on my 7.62 x 39 conversion to 6.5 Grendel with no alterations. New Grendel suposedly will be offered with the three round magazine.


      Still I would expect CZ would choose to make the 3 and 5 round magazines interchangeable in that they would fit the same firearm.

        ???

        If extra magazines will be made available I agree. My question was based on reading about others rebarreling 7.62 carbines to 6.5 Grendel, knowing they had to use the 7.62 magazines, and wondering how reliable they are.

          Running a 7.62X39 mag in my conversion, had a few failure to feed issues when it was new and loaded with 5 rounds loaded, functioned flawless with 4 in it. After 50 or so shots I have loaded 5 numerous times since then without any failures. I have 2 527s the Grendel and a 223, both like to be cycled briskly

            I thought that might be the "case" as the 7.63x39 is the parent case for the 6.5 Grendel. I will just have to wait and see if extra Grendel specific magazines are available after I get my rifle.

              I doubt CZ will spend the resources to develop a grendel specific mag unless there are significant issues. Most of those issues will arise once you start to exceed 7-10 rounds....

                Somewhat my thoughts. I am hoping though that they make a 3 round magazine so the rifle will be trimmer and handier to carry.

                  Got my 527 6.5 Grendel today, The magazines are labeled 7.62x39/6.5Grendel. I had ordered a couple of 7.62x39 Mags to have on hand and they work perfectly.
