PETE'S PILLARS CZ 455 / 457 16.5″ .860 BLUED THREADED MATCH BARREL – .22 LR
Short, Handy and Suppressor-Ready.
The Pete's Pillars 16.5″ .860 blued match barrel turns your CZ 455 or 457 into a compact, quick-handling .22 LR. It's cut with our own match chamber and a 1:16 twist, and threaded 1/2-28 at the muzzle, ready for your suppressor or muzzle device. Made in the USA by Pete's Pillars.
Not every CZ needs a long, heavy barrel. A 16.5″ barrel keeps the rifle short and balanced, swings fast in the woods, and pairs perfectly with a can for quiet, comfortable shooting. The .860 contour adds stiffness over a sporter profile without turning a carry rifle into a bench gun, and the classic blued finish gives it a clean, traditional look. Use it for: suppressed small-game and squirrel hunting, compact field rifles, truck and trail guns, and suppressed NRL22 setups.
Built for Precision.
Each barrel is cut with our Pete's Pillars Match Chamber for match .22 LR ammunition with a 1:16 twist, and finished with 1/2-28 threads at the target muzzle, the standard rimfire thread pattern for suppressors and muzzle devices. The barrel's logo sits neatly under the scope's objective housing for a clean look on the rifle. Prefer stainless? Choose the 16.5″ .860 Stainless Match Barrel. Want a custom look? It's also available Cerakoted.
Build It Out: Give It a Chassis.
A short, handy barrel deserves a light, affordable home. The MDT Oryx is the CZ 457 chassis our customers build on most, at a price that leaves room in the budget for a suppressor and glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fitment, threading, chassis choice and building a compact CZ 457.
Which rifles does this barrel fit?
It's made for the CZ 455 and CZ 457 in .22 LR.
Will it fit my rifle?
Our barrels fit most CZ 455 and 457 rifles. We machine to very tight tolerances, so every now and then a production action with factory tolerance stack-up falls a little outside that range.
Is it threaded?
Yes. It's threaded 1/2-28, the standard rimfire pattern for suppressors and muzzle devices. A thread cap is not included.
Why choose a 16.5-inch barrel?
It keeps the rifle short, light and quick to handle, and it's an ideal length for running a suppressor without the rifle getting too long.
Is it available in stainless or Cerakote?
Yes. Choose the 16.5″ .860 Stainless Match Barrel, or contact us about a Cerakote finish.
What chassis should I use?
The MDT Oryx Sportsman is our most popular CZ 457 chassis and a great value, available in Arctic and Snow Camo. The MDT Field Stock is another lightweight option. Confirm your barrel channel clears the .860 contour.
What else should I upgrade while the barrel is off?
It's the perfect time for our PP457FP-T Firing Pin, PP457LCI and PP45715 Rail. See everything in our CZ 457 Parts Collection.
