I suppose 20rnd mags would be one reason, but it certainly isn't worth the inferior reliability (7.62x39mm AR mags are notorious for poor reliability/build quality). I do see some utility in modifying AK magazines, but only if you are looking to use a drum (I have considered doing this myself, but don't know if the added ammo is worth the added weight).
I am still planning to work on building some 20rnd VZ-58 magazines (not modded AK mags), but just haven't found the time.
Well, the rifle was build and is used in CZ, 20 (3-5-10-15-20-30-40-75)rd mags are available here and cost less then any AK/AR mag. Only point i see is to show "Yes we can" which is actualy good - if there is reduction for 7,62 AR mags, there surely is reduction for .223 VZ to use stanag mags.
About the drum: its not as heavy as it looks like, but it makes sense only for full auto (no zombies so far, right?).
rocinante: Railed dust cover is approved by AČR and used in A-stan. There is clamp on the other side
