Second look, CZ 527CSR

[armoredman]

I was quite surprised today when I gave my gunsmith friend his new High Noon Nichols holster at the range, because he had brought down the almost completed CZ 527 "CSR" stock I had asked for.

This got a LOT of look as the range itself was FULL to bursting, and a few lucky folks got to shoulder it. Do remember, this stock is not yet complete - he gave it a couple quick coats of linseed oil to protect it while out today, but will be sanded down and final finish applied soon. Ah, how I remember linseed oil, oiling the stocks of our Springfield 1903A3 rifles in JROTC...

Without further ado, the 527CSR, almost done.



There's that odd thing...isn't it?





You see these on "tactical" rifles and plastic buttstocks, but not in wood. I like it. The design is LAGS own, and while there are some final tweaks to be done, (mag release button will be reshaped and fitted, cutouts for both mag releases will be reshaped, final sanding, shaping, bluing on the spare magwell, etc.), I enjoyed the HECK out of shooting it again! Stock material is mahogany, for those who are interested.

The genius who designed this, LAGS Custom Gunsmithing of Mesa, AZ.



The lucky fat guy.



We're having fun now!

I cannot tell you how much I like this! I registered to reply and ask about this.

Do you still have it? Just outstanding stock.

I have a question about 527s geneally, if anyone knows: I'm contemplating getting a CZ 527, but I hate detachable mags which pop free from breathing on them (which is why I'm selling my 453 Varmint tomorrow)... how hard or easy is it to push in the button on the side to release the mag? If it's stiff / difficult, then I will get one. If it's "fragile", then I will not. I really really don't like losing stuff in the field after going through brush - done it many times. I basically want to leave a permanent dent in my thumb to get it to release or I won't be happy - otherwise, with my luck, some branch will hit it just right and gone forever. I kind of need to know quickly, the answer to this question, as a gunbroker auction for an FS is ending tomorrow I might get.

Sorry if this is too old to bump up, but I thought it deserved comment - very innovative. I like the ergos of a P-grip (Who doesn't really? Know anyone who doesN'T like the ergos of an AR15? I don't). Thanks.
