PETE'S PILLARS CZ 455 / 457 26″ .960 STAINLESS MATCH BARREL – .22 LR
26 Inches of Match-Grade Stainless.
The Pete's Pillars PP457-26S is a 26″, .960″ contour stainless steel replacement barrel for the CZ 455 and 457, cut with our own match chamber, a 1:16 twist and a recessed target crown. Made in the USA by the shop CZ rimfire shooters trust, and ready to turn your rifle into a long, steady, match-grade .22 LR.
The CZ 455 and 457's barrel system is what makes the platform so easy to upgrade, and the barrel is where the biggest accuracy gains live. The PP457-26S gives you a long, stiff .960 contour that settles the rifle, adds velocity and sight radius, and holds steady shot after shot. Whether you're chasing small groups on the bench, shooting an NRL22 match or building a heavy, quiet range rifle, this is a barrel built to make your CZ shoot. Use it for: benchrest and ARA-style shooting, NRL22 and PRS Rimfire, and precision range rifles.
Built for Precision.
Every PP457-26S starts as stainless steel and is cut with our Pete's Pillars Match Chamber for match .22 LR ammunition, then finished with a recessed target crown that protects the muzzle and the accuracy that comes with it. The .960″ contour adds rigidity and mass without the weight of a full bull barrel. Most actions need no shims, and optional headspace shims are available. Want it to match your build? The stainless finish is ready for custom Cerakote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fitment, threading, chassis clearance and comparing CZ 457 match barrels.
Which rifles does the PP457-26S 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. Optional headspace shims cover those cases.
Is it threaded?
No. The PP457-26S is unthreaded with a recessed target crown. For 1/2-28 threads, choose the PP457-22ST or PP457-26SST.
Will it fit my stock or chassis?
Confirm your barrel channel clears a .960″ contour. Popular homes include the MDT ACC Elite, LSS Gen3, ACC Premier Gen2 and KRG Bravo.
Which is better, the PP457-26S or a Lilja barrel?
We only carry parts we trust, can stand behind and know are built with quality, so you're in good hands either way. The Lilja 24″ 1.180″ is a benchrest-proven premium barrel. Of course, we're partial to ours: a .960 stainless match barrel with our own match chamber, made in the USA by Pete's Pillars.
Can I get it Cerakoted?
Yes. The stainless finish is ready for custom Cerakote. Contact us to match your build.
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.
