    C-Z457 magazine box

    I shoot competition with my C-Z 457 and was wondering if anyone made a carry box for 8 - 10 pre-loaded magazines. I have to move from one stage to another rapidly and keeping my practice magazines and scoring magazines separated in zip lock bags is a problem.

    I've never heard of anything for that specific use.
    Over the years, as I've needed a lightweight plastic case for things in that realm, I've modified plastic ammo boxes.
    I have a 452, I assume the 457 has same size mags?
    I bet you could mod a 500 S&W box to hold 10 five round mags.

    I aftermarket mags (original CZ though) are packed and labelled separately for 452’s and 457’s… suggests they are different.
    May we achieve our aims....

    well, I had to look that up. Same Physical size is what I was commenting about for making a DIY mag holder, yep they same size. Also, assuming we are all taking about 22LR mags, according to these guys, new 457 mags will function in 452.

    Ah… strange they would sell them as if different (even priced different) though ‘standardisation’ makes a lot of sense.

    I can tell you from experience that 452, 455, and 457 mags will work in any of the rifles. They are functionally the same.
    The 452 mags were metal where the 455/457 mags are plastic. While I tend to prefer metal, the plastic mags have a smoother feel when feeding the ammo. I have both at home and in my bag.
    At one point I had one of each of those rifles in my possession at the same time.
