I have a .22 mag that is a pretty darn good shooter, it's a 445 American.

Would kind of like to get a .22LR barrel for it.. At the moment Euro Optic is out of stock. Any other vendors out there that might carry these or maybe even an upgrade?

Thanks much

There's always 457 American (fits the 455) barrels for sale on Rimfire Central.

They come in, then they disappear quickly. Get on the waiting list, then don’t dawdle.

I did see that and should have mentioned it.. The fact that the CZ barrels have been nitrided kinda spooks me. I've never tried to cut a nitrided barrel for threads or simply to chop it off. Was around a number of CZ 9mm pistol barrels though, don't try to throat them with a HS reamer !! Need carbide. So my guess with the .22 is that it is good from the get go or a turd offering no remedial action. This just a guess.


I can see a Vudoo in my future, lol!

I’m on two waiting lists for a .22 mag American barrel. Don’t care if it’s threaded or not really.

I have a Stainless CZ 22LR barrel that I'd sell. Shoot me a PM if interested.

I’m in the same boat. I have a CZ 457 American chambered in 22 Mag and would like a reasonably priced 22 lr barrel for shooting suppressed. A 20” barrel is longer than I’d like.

Has anyone had experience cutting and threading one of these or other nitrided barrels at 16.5”?

I'm just the opposite. I'd like to find a 22WMR barrel for my 455 (and that doesn't cost as much as the gun did)

Called Eurooptics today and asked about the timeline for backordering a barrel. The rep declined to hazard a guess, but I went ahead and backordered the barrel I want. Had to pay up front, naturally.

We shall see…..

No rush for me. Have plenty to keep me busy for the time being.

I've seen several on Rim Fire Central. The 457 barrel will fit the 455 and vice versa.

I got a 457 American 22lr I was going to part out. I have a message into another guy on RF Central right now for the stock. Waiting on a response from him.

a factory threaded 16" brl, like on a 457 "Royal" should be your huckleberry...

Ran into some barrels on GB today, including the one I want. Cancelled my EO backorder and grabbed one.

Barrel arrived today, a surprise because they never sent the promised shipping and tracking info.

This is where I got it from, now that I know they actually have them:

Strange as it's listed as a shotgun barrel.. Probably the reason there are 11 of them left.

I searched “CZ barrel” under Gun Parts. Looking under Rifle Barrels yields different results. There were 19 available when I ran into them. Glad I looked; I paid somewhat less than what EuroOptic was charging, and didn’t have to wait.

Got it installed yesterday and plan on shooting it a bit today.
