This also doesnt cause any issues ejecting an unfired round. It provides a very very slight push of the bullet into the lands just like you want with a match 22lr bolt gun. There is nothing hard about closing the CZ 455/457 bolt with headspace set 0.41. Those numbers are generally in the 0.41 - 0.435 range based off my discussions with Don Smith. 22lr headspace is set specifically to the ammo you are using.
Your playing with headspace? Or your actually measuring correct headspace and setting it? 0.41" is a pretty standard headspace for a 22lr match chamber Im told from a few smiths that have done a ton of 22lr bolt gun barrels. MDT ACC folding Chassis w/buttstock and forend weights Looking forward to getting this thing to the range and start testing. Then will shoot steel 200, 300 and 400yds. Initially Ill get a few hundred rounds down the barrel and find what ammo it likes the best. Stay tuned for pictures and test results. This Bartlein is the first barrel cut with this reamer.įrank emailed me yesterday and said the barrel is finally done and everything would ship back to me today. Don was nice enough to give me all the specs and give the final reamer print from Manson a look over before giving Manson the ok to proceed. I had the reamer custom made by Manson with the help of Don Reamer was made to the specs of Don's reamer he used on his custom barrels. What makes this barrel/test different from the first one is I sent him my own custom 22lr reamer and requested headspace to be set 0.041.
This second barrel, I sent Bartlein my CZ 455 action and asked Frank to custom fit a 20", 0.900 straight blank to my action. In my testing, that barrel shot great once you found the right ammo. So again, a big thank you to Frank/Bartlein.īartlein offers these cut rifled 22LR 0.900" CZ455 and CZ457 barrels for $425.00.įrank already sent me one of their drop-in/Semi custom CZ 455/457 barrels back in the beginning of this year which I tested in a few different CZ455 review threads posted. Big THANK YOU to Frank Bartlein barrels for donating this barrel and continuing to support the SH community!! Every review or testing the SH community wants to see, Frank is always quick to say no problem Ill get a barrel out to you. 22 is largely just for shooting enjoyment and practice, and a bit of hunting, so match ammo and barrels are an excess.Īs to how Liljas compare with other options, I can't say, but I'd check around before dropping a bundle.The custom 22lr barrel for my CZ 455 is finally done. Just keep in mind that even the finest barrels can only do so well with ammo that is inconsistent, so be prepared to pony up for some good stuff, or for the occasional flyers that come with cheap- to moderate-priced ammo. But if you enjoy shooting tiny litle clusters at the range, a fine pastime, then yeah maybe it is worth it. 22 that shoots better than say 1/2- 3/4" at 50 yards is of any real advantage for field use.
My current 455 SS is a decent shooter with a very nice trigger right out of the box, so it's sticking until it doesn't.Īs far as whether the Lilja barrels are worth it, I'd say it depends on what you plan to do with it. Sold everything and bought a 453 LR, which was a good shooter, but that went to finance something else, also now gone. My first 455 was purchased when they first came out as a.
