CZ 452 Gunsmith

[TheBeard413]

i am looking for a smith that will rebarrel my left hand CZ American 452 .17hmr. I already glass bedded it a while back. I also have the timney trigger. I can't find anyone willing to swap my factory barrel for a Lelja Barrel. The smiths I've talked to say, the the 452 barrels are too hard to get off and that if I had a 455. They don't make a left hand 455. So, any smiths willing to swap a 452 barrel?

what makes it any harder than any other gun?

Glued in barrel I guess

Contact "djdilliodon". He recently had a few items for sale in the rimfire section. He specializes in CZ builds. I bet he could hook you up.

Thanks for the info. I sent him a PM, hope we can work it out. Better get on Manners site and order the stock.

I talked to Chad at LRI about re barreling mine, he said send it. Any barrel will come off, may just have to part it off at the receiver to relieve the tension and get it out.

I was told by CZ that Triple River Gunsmithing in Warsaw, MO is their go to CZ rifle custom shop. I called them with the exact same question. They said it was no problem and would re-barrel my Lh 452 with any brand barrel I wanted. Lead time was out there tho.......

I could be wrong, but just based on my experiences with one Savage and two Anschutz offerings the weak link in 17 HMR is the lack of match grade ammo.
