CZ 557 magazines

The CZ 557 model range includes classic bolt-action hunting rifles designed for reliable performance in the field. Solid construction, proven calibers and good accuracy make the CZ 557 a popular choice for hunting and recreational shooting.

Compatibility of CZ 557 rifle magazines

In this category you will find magazines designed specifically for CZ 557 rifles.

Magazines are not freely interchangeable between all CZ rifle families; always choose a magazine for your exact CZ 557 model and caliber.

Which magazines will you find here?

Depending on the specific variant, you can choose metal or polymer magazines, usually with a capacity of 4–10 rounds. These magazines are designed to match the dimensions and feeding requirements of the CZ 557 action and typical hunting calibers.

Why look for a new magazine?

There may be several reasons to purchase a new magazine for your CZ 557:

• Wear: even if you clean the magazine regularly and thoroughly, it is a consumable part and subject to wear. A new magazine helps maintain reliable feeding.
• Damage: rough handling, falls or pressure in a backpack or blind can deform the body or base and cause malfunctions.
• More magazines = more convenience: having several pre-loaded magazines is more efficient than constantly topping up a single one, especially on driven hunts or at the range.
• Increased capacity: where available for your model, a higher-capacity magazine lets you carry more rounds without reloading as often.
• Material and feel: you may prefer the weight, handling or look of a different magazine material than the one supplied from the factory.

Tips for magazine maintenance

For reliability and long service life it is important to maintain your CZ 557 magazines regularly and correctly. How to make them serve you well for a long time?

1. Regularly clean

After every use in the field or at the range, remove the spring and follower if the construction allows it, and clean out dust, dirt and lubricant residues.

2. Do not over-lubricate

Apply quality lubricant only in a thin layer. Too much oil attracts dust and debris and increases the risk of feeding failures.

3. Regularly check the spring and follower

Inspect for cracks, deformation or corrosion before each hunt or range session, and also during use if the magazine is dropped. Keeping a spare magazine on hand is always a good idea.

4. Do not store a magazine loaded to full capacity for long periods

A constantly compressed spring wears out more easily and can lose tension over time. If you store the rifle, unload the magazine.

5. For steel magazines, occasionally check for corrosion

Wipe off moisture after use in rain or snow and, if needed, apply a light protective oil film on the outer surfaces.
