Title: Custom Cz 527
Post by: jdb on January 19, 2017, 07:02:48 PM: I'm thinking about having some work done on my 527. Mine has the synthetic stock which has to go. Any one know of a good after market? The only one I can find is Boyd laminate which look great but are heavy. Anyone ever lighten one? I also want to put on a lower bolt handle and lower rings. Again anyone do this? Last I was thinking about maybe haveing the barrel trimmed to 20" input?

James Calhoon can fix you up with the new style bolt handle if yours has the old version and he also has the lowest rings available for a 527 but only in 1in tube diameter.

I used Leupold rings one mine and it's pretty low still.

Jim Calhoon will take your bolt handle on trade in for a modified bolt handle. He is in Havre Mt. His Hunker rings are really low.

Rick Steinhour (Extreme Rifle Works) can put a 527 in an MPI stock for you. He has done my Sako vixen action H&R, 317 Ultra Wildcat for me and a few Remington 788s. The Ultra Wildcat is real light and trim in that stock. Rick is back in Nebraska again.

Both of these guys are first rate. It has been a long time since I weighed my Ultra wildcat, but IIRC it weighs about 5 1/4 lbs. I doubt you can get a 527 down that light w/o going with an MPI Ultra Light stock because the 527 American barrel is a bit heavier than the Ultra Wildcat barrel. But you may be able to get it as light because my Ultra Wildcat is 17 cal.
