    Considering purchasing a Century Arms VZ2008 and came across an AR-15 mag we'll adapter (http://www.zahal.org/products/vz-58-mag-well-adapter). I was hoping someone here had some insight as to how this works. I know CzechArms sells a version in 5.56 (without an adapter) but I can't find anything on how the rifling/barrel works using an adapter on a standard VZ. Does the 7.62x39 barrel need to be replaced? Will the receiver feed as is? Where to find a 5.56 barrel if they even exist (my search came up empty).
    It might seem silly with the prices of 7.62 being relatively low and having a lot more bang for your buck but for me it's a matter of keeping it simple since I already own AR-15 mags and ammunition.

    The adapter is made for the 5.56 rifle, so you can use AR mags with it. Won't work on the 7.62x39 version.

    The VZ mags aren't horribly expensive or hard to find. They include a last-round bolt hold open function. It's a nifty little rifle, you won't be disappointed and x39 is fun to shoot.

    Gotcha, the 5.56 mag well isn't compatible with the ar-15 mag. I'm assuming the standard 5.56 mag is comparable in size to the standard 7.62. I thought something seemed a bit fishy about feeding 5.56 through a 7.62 barrel! Thanks!

    THAT'S WELL ADAPTER, NOT WE'LL (we will) adapter. Jeez, I'm glad I don't have a Maryland education.

    Me too, we may have ended up in the same class. In Maryland that ish don't fly. Thank you for correcting my auto-correct. I'm sure you have 4,112 other post just like this.
