POSITION7 CZ 457 COMPETITION FIRING PIN – .22 LR
More Uniform Strikes, More Consistent Ignition.
The Position7 CZ 457 Competition Firing Pin replaces the factory pin's long, flat wedge tip with a precision-machined square striking surface for a more uniform rim indentation. Made from S7 tool steel and finished in DLC, it's built for .22 LR shooters chasing consistent ignition in NRL22, PRS Rimfire and benchrest.
In rimfire, ignition consistency shows up on target. Every round depends on the firing pin crushing the rim the same way, and small variations in strike can mean small variations in velocity and point of impact. Position7's Competition Firing Pin is designed to make that strike more uniform, round after round, so your rifle and ammunition can perform to their potential.
It's a direct replacement for the factory CZ 457 firing pin and a natural upgrade for competitors who have already tuned their ammunition, trigger and optics.
S7 Tool Steel with a DLC Finish.
S7 is a shock-resistant tool steel well suited to repeated impact. The Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating reduces friction, improves wear resistance and resists corrosion, and it avoids the flaking that can build up in the firing pin channel with some factory finishes. This pin is optimized specifically for .22 LR rim engagement. Shooting other CZ 457 chamberings? Choose the Position7 CZ 457 Multi-Caliber Firing Pin instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fit, caliber and getting consistent ignition from your CZ 457.
Which rifles does it fit?
It is a direct replacement for the factory firing pin in the CZ 457 chambered in .22 LR. Confirm your caliber and bolt configuration before ordering.
Can I use it in a .17 HMR or .22 WMR CZ 457?
No. This pin is optimized for .22 LR rim engagement. For other chamberings, choose the Position7 Multi-Caliber Firing Pin.
How is the tip different from the factory pin?
The factory pin uses a long, flat wedge tip. The Position7 pin uses a precision-machined square striking surface designed to create a more uniform rim indentation for more consistent ignition.
What does the DLC coating do?
Diamond-Like Carbon reduces friction, improves wear resistance and resists corrosion, and it avoids flaking that can collect in the firing pin channel.
Will a new firing pin improve accuracy?
A more uniform strike can reduce shot-to-shot variation in ignition. Results depend on your rifle, ammunition and setup, so it delivers the most for shooters who have already tuned the rest of the rifle.
What else should I upgrade in the bolt?
Our PP457LCI Cocking Indicator, PP457ES Extractor & Holder Set and PP457SP2 Gen 2 Extractor Spring complete a bolt refresh.
Do you offer other CZ 457 firing pins?
Yes. Along with Position7's Competition and Multi-Caliber pins, we offer our own PP457FP-T Reshaped-Tip and PP457FP OEM-Style firing pins, made in the USA.
