Lothar Walther CZ455 Barrel: First Shots Fired

[Mr.Revolverguy]

This is the first 50 shots of a Walther barrel on the CZ455.

I have done no bolt work only trigger work.

I have a magazine sled and plan single feed it also.



I am waiting for my SK Standard Plus to come in and Lapua Xact to have a fair comparison between the factory barrel.

Very cool. Thanks for posting. As a CZ-455 owner that was most interesting.

I want to get about 250 rounds through it before I decide to maybe glue the barrel in place.

As a 455 owner also, makes me want to try it out

 

[Mr.Revolverguy]

Stay tuned think I am going to do this
Low Cost plinking Blasting ammo 30 rounds 3 different target I think I have this stuff already -- Federal Blue Box, Aguila SuperExtra Subsonic, Blazer

medium cost target practice ammo 30 rounds 3 different targets -- I think I have SK Pistol Match, SK Semi Auto, Eley Semi Auto Benchrest, CenterX, CCI SV

High cost competition ammo 30 rounds 3 different targets. This will be Eley Tenex, RWS 50, Lapua Xact

What do you think?

Glue it into the receiver, I hope. Gluing it isn't for life. The receiver can be heated carefully with a torch to melt the glue, but I wouldn't do it except to make a permanent change of barrels, like I did...from .22 Mag to .17 HMR.

Great video. Been shooting a Lothar-Walther barrel on a muzzle loader for years, quality barrels. Looks like a nice unit, but disappointing groups. Thinking the inconsistencies are ammo related....not shooter, barrel, or scope. I'd try different brands and grade those out with a rim thickness gauge. http://www.neiljones.com/html/rimfire_gauge.html

Ammo test in the future.
