Who 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.

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

Rich,

The 3 pos for the cz550 is $250.00.

I am not sure about the price for an Enfield.

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

Yes:

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?

I 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

The 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.
