CZ455 Integrally Suppressed

[PolishBulldog]

Has anyone seen, heard of, or have any more information about the factory integrally suppressed barrel from CZ for the 455? Looks interesting.

 

[Woobie]

They're actually doing it? I dreamed of that exact thing, and thought it would be cool to have done as a custom job by an SOT gunsmith.

Looks like it will officially released this week at the SHOT show. Give it a month or so to hit the dealers.

CZ-USA Monday Sneak Peek: Integrally Suppressed Rimfire (and more) - The Truth About Guns

I have not seen a price yet, my SOT said they aren't showing up on distributors website yet and they haven't asked their rep. CZ made the announcement awhile back I saw on instagram. I know the MSRP seemed reasonable. It looked like the price on a complete rifle would be less or on par with the Ruger integral barrel. I know my LGS will be getting one in when they come available. I'm very excited to check it out that's for sure!

However from what I've seen it almost looks like the baffles thread in or something and it's not like your typical k baffle. I don't know how big of a fan of that I am if they are super hard to get out, but I'm going to just wait and see if we see anything from SHOT and or what's released. It is on my radar for sure! I'd love it if you can buy just the barrel and it'd go on a 452.

According the article I posted about, it's $399.

Is that for just the barrel I'm assuming? The original word was that you could also buy they gun complete which appeared to be a better deal to me.

I don't like how they did the baffels. They think you can unscrew baffels from a threaded tube after you shoot .22? They're going to seize in place

From the article.

For an MSRP of $399, the integrally-suppressed CZ 455 barrel set will be available in at least .22 LR and .17 HMR. I’d guess a .22 WMR variant won’t be far behind. Built into the varmint profile barrel is a 7075 aluminum suppressor insert. The entire insert is threaded, allowing the user to screw baffles into it at their pre-designated locations or invent custom spacing as desired. Patented threads on the baffles cut through carbon and other fouling.

Lots of Anti-seize!! I wonder how good it will hold up to being taken down.

I saw a picture before Christmas and haven't stopped thinking about it since! $399 for a 16" or 20" barrel. Much cheaper than the custom guys

Yeah, if they really thread in like that I don't think I'll be a buyer. That looks like it'd be darn near impossible to not service really frequently. They were saying a few hundred rounds and I can see why. I can shoot thousands through my mask and it still comes right apart.

The baffles look like they came from from a tap & die set.

I thought the exact same thing, I love that you said that! They probably cannot be described any better than that!

 

[M67]

If they can design threads on baffles that easily cut through lead and carbon, they done did a miracle

It looks heavy.

You lost me at Aluminum

 

[BoilerWes]

Thompson Machine has offered an integrally suppressed CZ 452/455 barrel for many years.

I thought this too but then I saw up to 22WMR and 17HMR and thought maybe there will be SS too. Especially on an integral I feel like I'd rather have SS over aluminum.

Rimfire is dirty. Being able to take it apart to clean the can is a big deal. The internal threads are gonna trap crap like nobody's business.

 

[Tactically Fat]

Musings from a non-machinist and dude not super familiar with suppressors:

Does the baffle stack compromise the entire length of the threaded section of tube? The image only shows for - but I'm presuming that this is just a diagram for informational purposes.

IF there are baffles that line the entire threaded section, and IF those baffles "nest" together a bit, let's presume there's probably 10-12 baffles. A) that seems excessive. B) the more baffles the more threads are "covered" by baffles which means there's less threaded surface area to be fouled.

So if the majority of the threading is holding baffles - then maybe this isn't such a huge deal after all??

It still seems silly, unnecessarily complicated, and expensive to machine, though.

 

[Woobie]

Don't really see the need for custom spacing. Just engineer it to work. I suppose a work-round for carbon in the threads would be to make some aluminum bushings to slide between the baffles. But that would add weight. And it might be "making a suppressor" under our draconian system.
