Rimfire CZ rifles in calibers .22 LR, .22 WMR and .17 HMR are popular for sport and recreational shooting as well as small game hunting. The low recoil, especially with .22 LR, allows comfortable practice of proper shooting technique, while .22 WMR and .17 HMR offer higher energy and a longer effective range.
Compatibility of CZ rimfire magazines
In this category you will find magazines for CZ rimfire rifles such as CZ 457, CZ 455, CZ 452, CZ 512, CZ Brno and other models chambered in .22 LR, .22 WMR and .17 HMR.
For CZ rimfire rifles, magazines cannot be interchanged between individual models and calibers as easily as with pistols. Always look for a magazine made specifically for your exact model and caliber. Magazines for .22 LR cannot be used in .22 WMR / .17 HMR rifles and vice versa.
How to choose a magazine
In addition to compatibility with the model and the appropriate caliber, focus on these details:
Capacity
Capacity determines how many rounds fit into the magazine. You can choose magazines with a capacity of 5–25 rounds, depending on the model and intended use.
Material
In our selection you will find polymer and metal magazines for CZ rimfire rifles.
Shooters often choose polymer as a light, inexpensive, and convenient option. More active shooters and those who use their rifle frequently and demand higher durability prefer steel as a more long-lasting material.
Why look for a new magazine?
There may be several reasons why you purchase a new magazine:
-
Wear: even if you clean the magazine regularly and thoroughly, it is a consumable and is subject to wear. A new magazine therefore guarantees quality and reliability.
-
Damage: due to rough handling, a fall or pressure, damage may occur.
-
More magazines = more convenience: you usually receive one or two magazines with the firearm as standard. Constantly replenishing them will, however, slow you down; it is much more convenient and efficient to acquire more units that you simply reload.
-
Increased capacity: you can put more rounds into a longer magazine, depending on what is available for your model.
-
Material: depending on the model, you may have received either a polymer or a steel magazine from the factory. It may not suit you in terms of weight, tactile feel or simply visually.
Tips for magazine maintenance
For the reliability and long service life of the magazine it is important to maintain it regularly and correctly. How to make the magazine serve you long and well?
1. Regularly clean
After every use in the field or at the range remove the spring and follower, and clean out dust and lubricant residues.
2. Do not over-lubricate
Apply quality lubricant only in a thin layer. Too much oil attracts excess dust and there is a risk of feeding failure.
3. Regularly check the spring and follower
Checking for cracks and deformations plays a very important role with rifles. Pay attention to inspection before each session and also during it, for example if a drop occurs. Keep a spare magazine at hand just in case.
4. Do not carry a magazine loaded to full capacity for long periods
A constantly compressed spring wears out more easily and can stop functioning properly.
5. For steel magazines, occasionally check for corrosion.
