HanselWho Currently makes a side wing safety and gas Shroud for the CZ 550
I have a CZ 550 Mag that I would like to shorten the barrel on and have the Safety changed on, to a Side wing safety/gas shroud and plug the current safety cut. Ala like the PME 2 place unit unit on my Taylor. Figured I should have it all done at once since it is going to need reblued.
Who currently makes these units? Thanks for the information.

Idaho SharpshooterI did, shame he doesn't have any prices on the safeties for the enfields or 550's. Or anything else.

Head TraumaEd just put one on my 416 Rigby, it is a work of art, a worthy upgrade to any CZ 550.

HanselYes:
But, how much is one of Ed's units? Ihave found 2 sources now Ed and AHR.
I have no Idea who makes AHR's however, And Ed's unit looks first rate. Now if I just knew how much to budget for one?

James_BI think the standard M98 3 position shroud conversions would work on the 550, for example: Dakota, Gentry, and N.E.C.G. I haven't tried it on the 550's bolt to see if it works, but it should fit. Has anybody used these shroud conversions on a 550.
Thanks, James

HanselThe Threads in the M98 Shroud are larger in diameter than the Threads of the 550. The M98 shroud will not thread into the 550 bolt body...I checked with a M98 shroud I have laying about.
I suspect that this idea is a total no-go! I think only a purpose made 550 shroud is doable, unless one of the gunsmiths will chime into the contrary, to many dimensions are critical to cobble it together.
