A "tweaked" extractor for the No. 2 .22RF trainers should also work; already heat-treated and blackened.
Hope to get a "faux" No5 or similar style up and running this year.
The CZ mags also come in 7.62 x 39 (if you can find them).
I had a tinker with 10-round Ruger Mini-14 mags, but the spring is designed for autos. Chopping turns off the spring is not the way to go. You need to wind a spring to the same overall design and length, but with thinner music wires
Anyone thought of doing a 6mm PPC or 6.5 Grendel on a No4 action? Same head size as 7.62 x 39.
