steph12330 AR??
Has anyone done a 30 AR on a CZ527? Looks like it could be a nice lightweight deer rifle.

SmokinJWhy not just use the 7.62x39 CZ 527 as is?

D HumbargerThe 30 AR is essentially a shortened then necked up to 30 caliber 284 case. More case capacity that the 7.62x39.
Being a fatter case it will not fit in the 527M magazine which is single stack. I just tried to load a 30AR in the 527M mag.
The 527m mag is .520 wide outside to outside. The 30 AR is .500 at the base.

steph123Thanks Doug. I guess I will stick with my ol' reliable 30-30.

D HumbargerSteph123 I have rebarreled several 527s to 6.5 Grendel. Makes an awesome little rifle. Lothar Walther makes barrels chambered & threaded in SS. Just headspace to your action & go shoot.
The 6.5 Grendel fits the magazine & feeds fine.

steph123Doug thanks for that very useful bit of information. What kind of ballistics are you getting with the Grendel and what barrel length?

D Humbarger 6.5 GrendelArtical on the Grendel By Speedy Gonzalasthe 6.5 Makes a fine deer rifle.
BTW the three 527s that I have rebarreled to the Grendel were all so accurate it was scary.
3 shots into 1/2" @100yds.
