Both my 457 show a lot of wear on the bolt bodies, sort of looking like groves caused by some possible burrs in the bolt channel but they really smoothed out after a few boxes of ammo. Both were not very smooth from new. My 455 yellow kanel with fly weight trigger is smooth as butter and the bolt doesnt seem to show the wear pattern as the 457.

Why not buy the MTR barreled action and simply sell the MTR barrel? If the price is reasonable, there may be some CZ 457 Syntetic owners that might be willing to pay for an upgrade without going to a full blown Lilja or IBI.
Are these barreled actions the same parts that would have otherwise been fully assembled and sold as a complete rifle? If so, maybe there is some fitment and finishing further down the full rifle assembly process that these actions miss out on? Just a thought.
Have you shot it/them yet? If so, has it improved with use?
That's good to hear. If you think of it, it would be great if you could post an update/general impressions here after you have a few hundred shots through it.
As mentioned on my other post” 457 Ejection issues “, the rifle shoots very good, although my shooting sessions was not that intensive but it shows great potential aside from the ejection issues , the SK std plus was printing 0.6” at 100, the SK Long RangMatch was around .9”, 2 five shot group each ammo, XRS chassis, 419 bolt handle, Yodave Trigger spring, PST2 5-25 on med rings.
Thanks for the update. I ordered one of the barreled actions so hopefully I get as lucky or maybe a bit luckier. haha
I took out the high points with a fine stone, this way it will match the other mating parts, if let the parts rub by itself with the high points, it just creates a burr although it my feel like getting smoother, it the same process I do when fitting a frame/ slide on all my 1911, it very tight but smooth, all rails are flat and smooth.
Just to add, happen to get hold of new 10 rnds metal mags today, did some loading/ unloading and it working better, noticed a slight difference between the 5 rnds that came with the action, the rear part of the 10 rounders just behind the follower there a little Tab, and the follower is below the lips, while the 5 rounds that one that giving me some ejection issue its follower is at level with the lips, one range session with this and will decide its fate.

Good to know. I've got a couple 10 round metal magazines coming too. That reminds me of the issues I had with my 9mm AR a while back. I sent it in to a gunsmith assuming they would work on the rifle and the solution was actually tuning the magazines instead.
