Ok guys, Ive talked to Keystone Accuracy and they will do a Group Buy only for these due to the amount of work per barrel. They will NOT be taking calls, emails, questions, individual orders on CZ 455/457 barrels. It is not worth their time away from the machine to be taking calls and answering questions on these which is why they will only do them if we get a group together.
We need a minimum of 10 prepaid orders to initiate the group buy. Once we have 10 or more confirmed orders and payment Keystone will be given a spreadsheet with name, address, specs and order#. You will be given an order sheet to include in the box to mail your action in to Keystone with the Order# written on the outside of the box. Turn around time from once your action is received till its shipped back to you will be 4 weeks MAXIMUM depending on shop work load but 2 weeks generally.
Barrels can be ordered in lengths from 16.1" - 24". Two contours will be available. 0.90" straight and a Palma contour. The barrel tenons will be custom fitted to your action for a nice tight, wobble free fit. You can choose to have the set screw notches cut into your tenon if your going to utilize the factory set screws to hold your barrel into your action or you can choose to have a round tenon like mine shown below. Keystone will then mail your action and new custom fit barrel back to you so you can glue it into the action like I did with Loctite 609. If you choose the set screw installation keystone will install your barrel and ship it.
All barrels will have a Lilja chamber identical to mine below and headspace will be set to 0.041". Due to CZ 455/457 actions varying slightly, everyone will need to send your action to Keystone Accuracy for a true custom fit barrel. These are not semi-custom/drop in barrels. Each one is custom fit to your action. No shims are used.

Post here if you want in on the GB and I will PM you for your email address so I can get all your info. Once we have 10 I will collect payment and provide you with an Order# and Order Form and instructions to mail your action to Keystone Accuracy. I will email you when your action has been received, and when its been shipped back.
All questions, concerns, etc. will be handled through me. This is how I contracted with Keystone to get them to do this GB based off the amount of requests Ive received for one of these barrels. They have to do it this way to keep on the machines cutting barrels.
Let me know if you have any questions
