All accessories must above all fit your CZ model. In this category you will find base pads for the following CZ models:
Why replace the base pad on your CZ and which one to choose
When you are clear about what fits your CZ, you can start considering what exactly you want to improve.
Faster magazine release
The higher weight of the magazine helps it drop out as quickly as possible after pressing the release lever. Extra grams are added by a metal base pad or one with increased capacity. The increased weight also contributes to better stability during shooting.
Higher durability
Metal base pads absorb impact on the ground better and protect the magazine body from damage.
Increased capacity
Some base pads serve to increase the magazine capacity. The number of additional rounds is indicated by the „+xrnd“ marking in the product description. The capacity can be increased by up to 8 rounds.
Legal restrictions
In some countries, magazine capacity is limited by legislation. In such cases, you will likely have a “pinned”/restricted magazine. It is restricted from the top, and you cannot increase its capacity in any way. The magazine, however, will be visually extended.
Better grip during reloading
Some base pads are specifically shaped to improve ergonomics. More pronounced shaping contributes to a better grip during reloading. However, you will notice an improvement in ergonomics with any base pad in our offer.
Magwell installation
If you decide to install a magwell, its mounting will be obstructed by the front part of the base pad, so you will need to replace it with one that is compatible with a magwell.
Whether a given base pad can be used with a magwell or not can be found in the description of each product.
TIP: Together with the magwell, you also need to install
short grips.
Aesthetics
The base pad is visible at first glance, and therefore you can use it to complement the appearance of your firearm and adapt it to your preference. You can style it thanks to different shapes or colors. Aluminum ones are produced in many color variants that satisfy even the highest user demands.
Material
In our offer, you will mostly find aluminum base pads, which are the most popular among our customers. Aluminum combines sufficient durability, reasonable weight, and affordability.
Some shooters prefer brass. They are guided by the higher weight of brass and the associated advantages of faster magazine release, better weight distribution during shooting itself, and greater material durability.
Can I replace the base pad myself?
Yes, you can replace it yourself without the help of professionals.
There are several types of attachment, so the procedures differ slightly. A visual guide can be found on our YT channel CZ Parts.
Remember:
-
Always check that the chamber is empty.
-
When removing the base pad, proceed carefully so the spring and follower do not pop out.
TIP: If your firearm has the basepag permanently pressed on, it is better to leave its replacement to a gunsmith.
