    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.
    A bit off topic, but I made a 7.62x39 conversion too, Around a CZ527 mag again:

    And finally, not to derail this thread too far. I am now totally off-topic, but to finish with my conversions.
    Here is my 7.62x25 prototype, this time around a TT33 magazine:

    What a neat plinker that would be around here.
