CZ Magazine Base Pad Questions

[Royal]

I have many (late 80’s early 90’s) preban factory CZ 75 15 round magazines all of which are in their original factory metal base/floor plate configurations.

I’m looking to retrofit many of them with a non extension rubber base pad. Has anyone here successfully accomplished this? These things are apparently little rubber unicorns:

75/85 RUBBER MAG BASE PAD

Question: Do these slide onto the CZ preban factory 15 rounders using the existing factory metal “locking plate” (the dimpled clip that attaches to the magazine spring)? Or do you need a newer version locking plate?

Oh, and anybody have a few they can spare?

I've got 1 (maybe 2? have to check) of those rubber basepads that I installed on preban CZ mags. They work fine if you're not dropping them on hard surfaces like concrete during a USPSA match....I had the basepad fly off along with the mag spring during a match over the winter lol. I'm looking to find a better basepad to hold up to the abuse as the factory basepad is a PITA to take off during matches for mag cleaning.

I use springer precision basepads for my MecGar 10 round mags but they won't fit the preban mags.

Benstoegerproshop has them in stock. His shipping prices are very reasonable too. I'd bet you won't pay more than $3 for shipping these basepads.

Thanks! I decided not to purchase them and stick with the tried and true metal magazine plates/bases.

Pro tip the Beretta 92 rubber pad fits and is much cheaper than the cz.

I installed one on my spare magazine and it locked into the factory mag with a little elbow grease. I used it on the spare mag because I pocket carry that and the metal plate was punching holes through my pants after ~2 years.

Thanks, but you are referring to a CZ 75 magazine correct? Is this on a compact/PCR? Does the base pad bridge the gap left by the full size magazine?

Sweet, thanks Neil! Just ordered a few for my prebans.

It's a PCR, 14 round magazine. The base pads from Greg Cote should fit compact and full size the same - if you're putting full size mags into a compact/PCR then there will be a vertical gap (if those work at all?) but if it's the standard mag for whichever pistol there is no gap.
