CZ 515 lever release 22LR (reviews)

Can you bring it on Sunday plz

Yeah sure but it’s still no optics - tbh, I was surprised you didn’t ask to handle it on the Sat we met up lol.

I should have taken some pics of the internals when I had it apart. the bolt group looks slightly different to the one the guy had in the video.

Has anyone been successful in attaching a sling? If so can you put up some pics please.

Got it approved. Only took replying to one email in the end.

Said I’d by using a 1-6 optic on this and 3-9 on the Ruger (just noticed it’s actually a 3-7 whoops)

Noted some other differences (shorter overall length for walking in thick scrub), said it would be better for quick follow up shots etc

That’s the hoops jumped through. Will be a couple more months to bring it home and set it up.

You can get 15 rnd OEM CZ mags from Cleavers for $80.

Think that’s cheaper than Ideal Small Arms.

Apparently they’re only good for the 515 though? Does anyone have thoughts on why the spec would be that different?

I’ve ordered some from Gun Emporium, should arrive this week, I will test them on a few different CZ and CZ compatible rifles.

For those interested, I got some newly released factory CZ 15 round mags.



Compared to the ACME mag, CZ mag is much larger and wider. Much better finish and construction, just in another league. Looks much better. Have yet to shoot but loads and feeds flawlessly.


Also tested in a Lithgow and fits well.

Much longer chunkier mag looks the goods.

Fun guns, thats for sure, but in saying that, i had a lot of fun with my old Anschutz 1450 last sunday…couldnt put it down! I think its been too long between shots with the 22

I would assume so. They publicly say it’s for 515 only but I have tested it in a Lithgow crossover and Cz MTR, fit was just fine.
It would be safe to assume these would work in any CZ that takes standard rimfire mags.

Magz been field tested today. Amazing in 515. No other words.

If anyone is interested…

Tested this (bigger) mag today in a comp (i.e. ran hard). Flawless. Not a single failure.

type: Cz 515 Tactical
ammo: CCI standard

Well it lived up to the hype.

New challenge - to try and get a 25 or 20 round mag.

I believe WAPOL will provide import permit as it’s category A

You need a permit to buy a mag?

B709a to import a mag. It’s a customs thing.

Keep us updated with this mate as I’ve just put an application in for one of these and I’d love a 20+ round mag… I think you can get the 15 round ones over here. Glad to hear it was fun to shoot too.

Just order 15 round magz man, they are in the country. Cleaver has them for $79. Don’t know about WA, in VIC B709 is free, but postage cost will smash you. 15 round magz look really nice too.

Have you shot it yet?

Yeah I’ll definitely grab a couple of the 15 rounders, 25 would be better though :joy:

Depends how you use it. Of hand - no problem. You lucky pricks, at least you got that going for you (I think), we have a 15 round limit on rimfire here. However, of a barricade or some support, they will most likely get in the way. Also depends how big you are, specifically if you use a bipod or some sort of a shooting rest. On lowest setting, which is what I use most of the time - they will hit the bench. And of a barricade, they will most likely run into the barricade unless you get pretty uncomfortable and stretched out so to speak. I am not saying don’t get them, if I could, I 110% would, but good to know that you will lose some versatility in shooting positions with them.

I guess the factory mag that comes with it would allow for bench shooting, but honestly for me this is a plinker/rat killer.

Factory mag is 10 rounds, it is NOT enough. You will go through that in a heartbeat, you underestimate how fast it is. I have enough to load about 150 rounds. Mix of 15 round ACME (least reliable), old school brno 15 round steel magz - reliable but very rare and 15 round new CZ mags, common - also flawless. Blink and it’s gone. I say you want to load at least 50 rounds before you start a session. Or maybe it’s just me. @Supaduke is it just me? :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
