Gun and gear reviews CZ Trail .223
I like this thing a lot, especially with the stock replaced. Only shooting at 20m but for me that’s a pretty good group, (20 rounds). Really need to find a spot to see how that would translate at 100m or more.
Only gripe I have is that it will not feed from aftermarket mags, no issues with the CZ mags. I have 4 of the CZ mags so not a big deal, kind of annoying though.
It likes heavier ammo, 55g doesn’t group well, pretty much just shoot PMC Xtac 77g OTMs now.
Running Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 LPVO, G-Ten pictanny stock adapter, Midwest Industries folding stock, Surefire war comp + blast warden

Mine has fed from every mag I’ve thrown at it. Cross mags, p mags, etc

On mine the bolt hits the feed lips and anything aftermarket, tilts the whole mag down/forward, so the round doesn’t want to chamber. I looked to see if I could adjust the mag catch height but doesn’t seem to be possible

Hmm that’s weird, I’ve literally not found a mag that it won’t feed from. Wonder if yours has a defect somewhere 🤦♂️

Mine will only take plastic mags, none of my metal LAR mags will feed at all, but my pmags, CZ mags and cross mags all perfect.

im running the same set up.... the factory stock is soo Janky... G-ten really comes thru.... where did you get the fake can from?

Looks like a sure-fire blast warden, they make them as a stand alone unit or as a quick attach to their muzzle brakes.

It’s a Surefire blast warden, mounts to their warcomp flash hider/compensator - directs the muzzle blast / sound forward. Actually works, no concussion at all.

My only gripe with the g10 adapter is that it voids warranty… there was another fellow in this sub manufacturing an adapter that doesn’t required to be tapped or drilled. Otherwise great looking rifle, happy shooting man!

Did you order the G ten off their website or is there a source in Canada?

u/jmz-jmz May 25 '26
Direct from G-Ten website, came in surprisingly quick. Was around 3-4 days from ordering to it being at my door.

How are you enjoying the stock adaptor? I don't mind the base stock, but it's a bit short for me. The adaptor plus a pic rail folding stock sound like it would be a great length of pull for me

u/jmz-jmz May 25 '26
I like it WAY more than the original stock, pretty easy to install. Wasn’t a fan of wobble.

Nice rifle, Definitely cool to see others upgrading the stock.
I wouldn't focus much on groups that close, need to be 100m to get a good idea of its true accuracy
