CZ 455/457 Build series | Initial Accuracy| Need your opinions❗️

[@Tex_I_Can]

Hey Kenny. Great to see you. While I was watching my mind kept drifting back to thy old days, when you lived in California. You've come a long way and done so much to be proud of. Congratulations. You're hard work and dedication are paying off.

[@richarddixon7276]

Looking forward to seeing that CZ with it's new homespun barrel . Thanks for sharing .

[@jimgallagher5785]

I love the fact that you are very exacting on your shooting. It's not a perfectionist attitude, just a desire to strive for a .22 group with 5 shots. Keep up the good U-tubes.

[@chriscorey5624]

Looking like another awesome build!!!

Always great videos... so informative .. cant wait to get my rifle from u..

[@HobbiesHobo]

I have to start looking for some SK .22 ammo, I like having ammo that can shoot better than I can. Then I can focus on my shooting. The editing on this was great, had a new look to it, I like it. Lots of rimfire fans out there to enjoy these vids. Mike.

[@jackjill521]

This is awesome!!!! I'm in for the results and possibly a barrel swap for my CZ 457!! 👍

[@asifjhammat]

Anxiously waiting for next part... regards from Pakistan

[@ShooterB1]

This I have been eagerly waiting for, grub screws, I know for fact, make sure the screws are flat face. They will mar a ring in the flat. I Iike the idea of a barrel nut . As of now I shim the bolt on my 457 so rifling engage the bullet how I want it.

[@rob-nb7oc]

Hello. Kenny, This looks like a fascinating build! I have two 457's, one with an IBI barrel in an Oryx Chassis, and I'd like to see you do the most cost effective build, preferably without a barrel nut. But in any case, I'm sure the end result will be a tack driver!

[@ferdgebert489]

some suggestions from a lifelong machinist... make a precision split ring to go over the barell for precision headspace location, maybe use it extractor orientation as well... .ooo5 to .001 press fit should not bother the reciever at all... freeze the barell to shrink it down so everything can be lined up easily... you may have to experiment with the actual dimensions to see how this all works well... but this is what i would do ! have fun ! we are all still learning !

[@milanspringl5940]

Hi Kenny, I know this is old, but I do enjoy your videos and especially the ones on the CZ 455/457 "notchless" barrels. While I like the interchangeability, I now tend to go back to the old Brno and ZKM rifles with 2 lugs and screw in barrels. Anyway, Just wanted to let you know that the Flyweight Trigger can indeed be adjusted to be a two-stage trigger. Works quite well.

[@midwest_long_range]

It would be very interesting to see how the barrel nut idea goes

[@oldbandfan]

Kenny, there was a guy on Rimfire Central that use to build accurate CZ455’s and would basically cut the barrel tenon to tight tolerances to the receiver and then Loctite the barrel into the action. I think this also addressed concerns that the barrel retaining grub screws could create stress in the barrel where they secure it. Just a thought on barrel to receiver retention. You would have to heat the receiver if you wanted to change the barrel later, but let’s face it, if she is accurate, I would never change the barrel anyway. Good luck! Will be interested to see how she shoots when your through.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Awesome info. Yeah thats the same concept im thinking off. Placing the barrel in the freezer and slightly warming the action for a tight fit

[@wesmosley1979]

@@EagleEyeShooting u have a contact # or email intrested In barrel and install

[@geckoproductions4128]

Use cylinder sleeve retainer...very similar to loctite, even made by them. Its used to resleeve BIG diesels, think ship engines,. 22lr doesn't generate enough pressure to break it loose.

[@o2wow]

Glad to see this series and the CZ getting some love.

[@dougdishler2086]

This is going to be awesome!!! Cannot wait to see the end result!!!! But if I was a betting man I’d say that rifle is going to be a tack driver after seeing some of the things you do to rimfire rifles!!!!

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Thanks brother!

[@greglundborg5557]

I am anxious to see how your CZ 457 barrel fitting comes out. I am having a Custom Fit barrel to a 457. For the HUGE notches for the 6mm Grub screws My Idea is to just Mill two 1/4 notches. NOT take out half the barrel like the Factory does. It will also be a contact fit tannin.

[@matthewrezuke8130]

Yes!!

[@tonynudl3105]

Interested to see the result I would also be very interested to see what you could do with a tikka t1x

[@vettepicking]

I would thread the reciever with a fine pitch tap, then thread a barrel and maybe add a nut......the set-screws are just a point that will cause accuracy changes.

[@G5Hohn]

The Tenex results are stunning. I don't think my 455 has shot that bad even with THunderbolt. The best ammo I've found overall for my CZ is MIdas Plus. But it's pretty solid with Wolf MT (old SK contract), Lapua Center-x, and federal UM22. Heck, it even loves that Aguila Pistol Match which is crazy accurate for cheap Aguila!

[@GermanHunter]

My CZ455 Varmint in a MDT LSS RF stock shoots 5 shot groups at 55 yards with Lapua Center X in about 0.22inches. Amazing results…

[@EagleEyeShooting]

... Good for you?👍

[@derekstreeter3150]

I like the idea of the barrel nut system

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Forgot to mention my theory of putting more even barrel torque onto the action. Thanks for your input

[@rocmanruss]

I’ve found when switching ammo mfg you need to get 10-15 rds through or clean barrel with 22lr

[@fosterprice5690]

Gidday From down in New Zealand. Your 22 RF videos are great, I have learnt a lot as you discuss more in depth accuracy kinks than most. I wonder what the headspace was in the factory barrel. In my experience its rare that a 22 that shoots any higher end ammo well doesnt shoot as well or better with Tennex. The explanation for this would be a great learning point. Thanks for making such a great contribution to the riflemans pool of knowledge.

[@jeffkitchens]

I was going to email and see if you were going to build out the CZ 457...PS Norma Tac 22 ammo shoots best out of a CZ 457. I have the MTR and shoots like a dream!

[@Mr.Spectaculous]

That's a 455. Very different from the 457. Parts of the bolt and the barrel are the only common parts. I'm not sure but that barrel looks to be a 20.5 varmint profile. I just put a fly trigger in one of mine. Light but feels like a striker fired pistol. I dig your content. Tiburon makes the knob. Get them on Amazon for ten bucks.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Thanks. It’s a 24. And we’re just focusing on the barrel to offer another option other than Lothar Walther or Lija

[@HITTING-STEEL-CA]

👍

[@plinkspot8750]

Great video. Why are you dialing .2 left at 100yards? Is it just a scope correction or is there some spindrift involved in 22LR?

[@bryanduchane2371]

The Ely 10x couldn't hit a beer gut if a life depended on it ...

[@jonenglish6617]

You could put that set screw feature in on a lathe pretty easily

[@wm.traynor1143]

How does a notchless sporter barrel sound in a 455, with a very tight tenon fit requiring freezing and heating to put it together. Could the work be done on the chamber-end of the existing, original barrel. It would end up being shorter but that wouldn't matter.

[@lewisrice3741]

I would like to have your opinion on my cleaning method. I put some solvent in for about 10 minutes and then run a teflon brush through the barrel three or four times then use dry patches until they come clean and then run oil patch this is after about 3 or 4 hundred rounds is this any good? Watch all of your videos put a lot of stock in your opinion. Thanks for all of your knowledge. Beagleman

[@jamesmikell6773]

Since you have to have the extractor groves cut and in a specific spot i dont see how the barrel nut system would be workable atleast not for the guy at home wanting to play with headspace. Ive been waiting to see a gunsmith do a custom barrel for the 455/457. Very excited for the results.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

The barrel is a slip fit system. There is no timing needed for the barrel. The barrel nut system will allow a variable shoulder length so you can set headspace. It also will act as imposing forces with the grub screw and in theory place even tension around the action

[@jamesmikell6773]

@@EagleEyeShooting oh i missunderstood your use of the barrel nut. You intend to thread the barrel for the nut but still use the grub screws for retention. I thought you intended to thread the action and tenon.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

@@jamesmikell6773 gotcha, yeah only threading the barrel if I go down this route

Hey Kenny , is there any I can get Cz 457 barrels from your shop ❤️?

[@arnoldmoos1791]

Most of my CZ barrels show a ring radially around about 1 inch past the chamber and the same 1 inch in from the muzzle. Wonder what causes this? Its something CZ does.

[@squirrelmaster760710]

Could that cracking in the chrome Molly you seen be lead swipe from the bullet getting to a spot in the barrel after all of the waxy lube been rubbed off from traveling "7 down the barrel

[@bigt33welder]

I have a heavy barrel rimfire rifle the groove diameter is .222 and bore is .218 is the too tight or too loose?

[@HarryFenton6124]

It doesn`t look much like my CZ 455 Camp, wooden with a diopter sight. With my elbow on the bench and with a sling round my elbow, I can usually hit a 1 inch group of 5 rounds at 50 metres. I use CCI Blazer ammo. I think that is ok until I watch Paul Harrell do better at 100 metres standing with the same rifle.

Mate! where is the end of all this running down a rabbit hole looking for Alice. If we could get ammo that was quality consistent and with no flyers as you say, then the original barrel and action would suffice. Just my thoughts.

[@luisabellon5869]

I’m in on one. Put a build n your website. Want to shoot Lapua & SK. My B14R ain’t cutting it, even after Timney HIT trigger at 8 oz and EC Tuner. Both are, in my mind, mandatory upgrades. Still only likes Center X. Everything else averages over MOA at 100 yds. Have yet to test SK Rifle Match and Long Distance Match.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

I personally like the B14R over the CZ and thats what I'm using this season for NRL22. Im able to put heavier barrels and have full Rem 700 supported accessories.

[@luisabellon5869]

@@EagleEyeShooting I guess I need to send my B14 barreled action to you. My main issue is that it shoots most ammo like the Tenex you shot in this video, all over the place! And, opening and closing the bolt is a pita! It is consistent ONLY with Center X. I want something that can shoot MOA or less with cheaper ammo, like SK Rifle Match.
