This is what separates you from other gun smiths, you are not satisfied resting on your reputation. You are always looking for new ways to improve your craft. Keep up the outstanding work Kenny. Thank you for all your hard work and your outstanding videos.

Love the CZ stuff man thanks!!

Thank You Sir! Those are amazing groups! 👍🇺🇸🎉

You may well become the busiest gunsmith in the country‼️‼️ Congratulations on a logical, rational and repeatable method for building a very reasonably priced rifle with consistent topline accuracy.

you keep rocking Kenny. Great Job !!!

I truly enjoy your videos because I learn something every time I watch one. That 5 shot bug hole was brilliant! Thanks for taking the time to share! Much appreciated!

Kenny, excellent work with outstanding results. Thank you and the team at DPG for the business and keep up the good work!

great job , and nice to see the phases of the process and watch this amazing results and this is put the cz in another level 👍

No argument man, you really improve that platform during years, excellent job, from a good rifle to a precision rifle!

Your gunsmithing talents,videos are the very best. Awesome work!!

Enjoy your videos. Thank you

Absolutely amazing work Kenny. You are making it hard to wait for my rim x build. Can't wait to get that call from you saying its time to start the build

Hard to argue with great results.

This is really inspiring for me as a relatively new gunsmith. Like you, accuracy is my number one goal given that it’s still reliable in operation.

Seeing is believing! From an old machinist, it makes perfect sense

Wow, very cool. Love you attention to detail and that thing is a laser!

That's just incredible! Nice work.

Awesome thanks for the info I have a 457 VPT

Bravo. 💪🏽👏🏽

Holy Crap ! That’s a BEAST NOW . Great video Kenny

Well thought out reverse helix reamer. I have had the best luck with that style for maintaining size and alignment. Great job! 👍

Man. Good on you. Great job with your biz. I would love to have your skill and knowledge. I think about lathe work for rifles all the time. Subscribed.

Great video! Very exciting stuff. You're gonna be a VERY busy shop.

Awesome. 👍👍

Wow great job!!!

Amazing work = amazingly results.

Terrific video!

God blessed you brother ❤

Yes yes and yes! 👍

This is mechanical art. So awesome to see.

Crazy consistency. 🙂👍

Good stuff. Keep up the good work.

I think the proof is in the results. Excellent work! Wish I could afford one.

I honestly didnt think I wanted another competition 22lr and I was pretty happy with mine, but every video I watch from Kenny it makes me want to order another and have DPG set it up!

Very well done mate.

That was amazing. I'd love to have saw the groups with the original barrel for comparison though.

As always, Amazing! you have to feel pretty darn good after building that rifle and the way it shoots, As jonathanseal5155 said, you are going to be one very busy person, as word get out about what you can do.

Love your work mate. Only wish you lived in Australia and you could build me one. Enjoy watching your videos.

There are always different ways to skin the cat so to speak. Great Video!

Awesome from 🇬🇧

WOW, very nice work. I ordered one of your CZ builds in May, hope you are going to do this procedure to your new builds even if the price goes up.

Haha awesome man!!! You beat me again on my video target!!! 😊😂😅 Super amazing to see you shoot it! I am soooo honored 😊😊😊 Thank you Jdelta!! I super appreciate 🙏 you doing this!! Awesome shooting and awesome fun! You and others make this worth my time and commitment to this sport! 😊

Awesome job and it's group like a dream...

Excellent work...

Great work from KSA 🇸🇦

Good Job Bro!

Proof is in the pudding. Loads of pudding here. Outstanding

This is the best. no doubt about. when your ready I want to send you my action. thanks for sharing.

Really nice work ☺️

love your channel, would love to have one of your .22lr in 457, but stuck here in the UK the chances of it happening are next to none please keep adding new videos

Amazing

Great work Kenney!

When can I send in my action? Those results are amazing.. great work.

Magnífico trabalho parabéns.sou torneiro mecânico aqui no Brasil. E um apaxonado pelo cal.22lr. se fosse possível poderia fazer um vídeo com melhorias pra um cbc 8122 cal.22 lr E a arma mais em conta pra Brasileiro. Grande abraço e sucesso

Do I think that your method works? Shit yeah it works and it works brilliantly. It won’t be long until Gunsmiths all across the country and overseas start building CZs the Desert Precision Gunworks way once they find your channel. Awesome gunsmithing Kenny 👍

Great work! Have a Lilja barrel and xlr element with all their weights. It shoots great but it is not balanced! Frustrating since I shoot nrl/prs 22! Hope you allow actions to be sent in soon!

Damn! I want one!

Nice groups👍🍻

As Eric would say Believe The Target !!!

That is awesome love to have that done with my CZ 457

You are a master craftsman...I love the ability to get things spot on and the results speak for themselves....anyone I know that is in the market for the most accurate rifles on the planet, I will be sending them your way....

That was amazing video

Excellent....THE ELON OF GUNSMITHING and MACHINING...BRAVO...KUDOS...Change of pace....anyone know of a qualified CZ 452 Heavy Barrel and installer ?

Great work. I am surprice that you don't have problems with 10 round magazines. The problem is showing with 10 rounds only, rifle run just fine with 5 round ones. Usually after barrel change the bullet is pushing high in the chamber which cause FTF. The cure is change the foots angle on magazine follower . By changing the angle the bulet isn't push that high - the angle isn't so stiff so no FTF. Another little trick of centering the lip /ramp plate- it has to be screw down with bolt closed. I have 455 with this problems and after fixing this the rifle is running like a tank.

This is really interesting: I got a new bike last year and the aero seatpost kept slipping (over an inch per hour on the bike: I cranked it down that I've just about stripped out the bolt, but what solved it was shimming it with not one but *2* beer cans. In short, that slop is what causes movement. Now that I've got it shimmed it hasn't moved *in months* . My point is, I don't think it needs to be interference fit, just trued and matched to a larger diameter barrel to remove that slop. Then, you wouldn't need to press the barrel out because it's not interference fit, but I bet you'd still increase the accuracy significantly!

I know my next purchase. Can't wait get my hands on a completed rifle from you!😅

I’ve got a action I can send in, when you have time just say the word and I’ll send it. I’d love one of those truck axle barrels.

Very impressed with your craftmanship and dedication to improve on what is already great.Will all the CZ builds be receiving this new method on receiver?

jesus f c ...great job !!!

I use dial bore gauges over snap gauges when I can. They are far better for that type of measuring. Expensive but worth the cost.

While I have not kept track, I am sure I have not done the number of builds you have I have not seen the variation in roundness and taper you have in the CZ actions. I am using a bore gauge like that used to measure engine cylinders and other items when they are being honed. In the 0.709" range I don't feel like I'm able to get as accurate a reading with the telescoping gauge. Your reamer setup looks interesting, I have been using a less complex system to true the tenon bore and action face but it has produced good results I would agree that the large cuts in factory and aftermarket barrels would seem to create a bendable area right at the chamber when the set screws are torqued. Any taper or clearance fit between the barrel tenon and the action adds stress to the assembled action/barrel. Thanks for sharing your process.

Excellent, the consistency must be incredible. Once you find the ammo it likes, do you ever shim the bolt for headspace to fine tune? I’m very interested in your thoughts. Thank you for doing these videos!

I realized I could wrap around my barrel tenon a full turn of scotch tape and still be able to fit it in the action!

Wow. Very impressive work which takes the CZ 457 to that next level. Out of curiosity, is it possible to see how CCI SV performs out of one of these?

This looks like it’s definitely 100% the rifle I ordered 😂😂

When will you do my rifle? I bought one last year it will group fair but usually on the 5th round I have a flier that messes up my grouping.

One word “WOW” ok two words “AWSOME”…….

do you have a video for before and after test shots to see if this was worthwhile to consider.

One day Kenny, I will have one of your rifles.

A lot of KZfaqs have commented on the great work Kenny has done. I’m not disputing that at all. Nor am I disputing the accuracy claims because I haven’t had Cz out to shoot yet. The weather has been bad, my tract scope hasn’t arrived, and I sent it off to get cerakoted when I got it. However, just wanted to say a few things. First the wait time for the rifle was pretty spot on to what they said, which was impressive, my experience with anything 7 months out, there’s always some unforeseen delay. Heck, cerakoting in 2 weeks got delayed 6 weeks. I asked to have the chassis cerakoted, they didn’t do it because they weren’t set up yet, you can order them from mdt that way. Not sure why you wouldn’t if your setup wasn’t going to be ready (did get a call a few weeks later saying they’d do it now). Kenny didn’t call before making my rifle to ask me about anything, just got the I’m done get me your FFL. Not exactly the KZfaqrs experience. Didn’t talk about what chambering he’s using and why, didn’t ask if I wanted a 25” barrel. Would have been nice to get a logo engraved. Now the other issue. The bolt is so gritty and stuck I had to used my whole hand on the bolt to get it to open and close. I had to use polishing compound then sat watching tv while I opened and closed the bolt 1000 times before I could do it with 2 fingers. But it begs the question how he shot 20-30 5 shot groups and didn’t notice and sent it out that way. Who knows, maybe he didn’t personally shoot the groups. Hopefully the winter weather will give me a chance to get out soon. If it shoots as demo’ed then I’m a happy camper. The bolt works fine now. Got my gun cerakoted and passed on getting it engraved. Plus my scope arrived around new years. Just wanted to let people know that the KZfaqrs and top competitors experience is most likely not going to be indicative of your experience. Makes sense since they provide the most influence. Then again, maybe my experience is the exception. Good luck and may your shots never stray from the black.

Very interesting video. I rebarrel Anschutz rifles and Achievers and I like your thermal fit routine and will try it. I use green loctite cylinder retainer and wondered if you had considered that. And if so, why you chose to use blue loctite instead? Thanks for the video

Honestly. I get that with my Sako Quad at 50 yards.

Nice work! Is there a difference in diameter of the action between the 455 and 457?

looks like the work was worth the results

Do you have a number or value from a normal action, same barrel without being trued? I hate that you would buy a guy for 750 and a 500 barrel and STILL need tuning.

Hi Kenny I have a question. I know that 26 inch barrel are best for 22lr. accuracy up to 200 to 300 but is it for longer shots ? I mean, as a 26 inch barrel is slowing the bullet speed compared to a 16 inch, which one is better for 400 to 500 yards ? Will the gain in speed of a 16inch help more with the accuracy at this distance or the 26inch will still be more accurate even if the bullet is more sensitive to wind ? Is there a compromise, like a 22 inch ? Thank you for all your quality work !

Hello you and your channel are awesome...you don't fall into the hype of just standard "mil-spec being just as good" mentality. Will you do an Ar-15 for me?

Nice…… but why do you tease us so, can we be friends? Great job as usual!

My 457 is factory stock yesterday shooting 30 gr. WMR at 50 yards i could cover a 15 round group with my thumb. That's minute of ground hog all day long.

Mine was the same. Only 0.0008 out. So there process is pretty good. I wont mess with chucking another one up. Im guessing they are all good enough. What temp are you getting the action? I dont want to heat it up and change the structure of the metal. You may warp the end or take the hardness out of it.

Wow!! Can you tell us a bit about the pedigree of the barrel you spun up for this trued receiver? Thx.

If a person truly wants precision, it seems that a custom DPGunworks-built CZ 457 will produce better and more reliable results than a factory Vudoo or Rim-X and at a better price. And, as a bonus, the mags are cheaper and more reliable. Seems like an easy choice.

My current target rifle is an Anschutz 54 30 used in 50 Metre Olympic style shooting with aperture sights. The barrel on this is threaded at the tenon and screwed into the receiver like a centrefire rifle. The earlier 19 series Anschutz target rifles had heat shrink methods used to fit the barrels to the receiver. Have you ever experimented with threading the CZ action and screwing on the barrel?

I wish I had one of those.... I have a new/old stock CZ452, not round fussy but nowhere near as accurate as my old Voere semi-auto... anything I can do to improve it? I do have some engineering knowledge... thanks from over the pond...

Just tooknmine apart ready to ship

Can you do a 457 22 WMR? I'm getting old and would to have one 👍

How does the CZ preform at distance compared to the RIMX or Vudoo? Group sizes at 50 or 100 are one thing, but matches are generally one past 200 yards. Have you been able to test group sizes at 200 and 300 to compare the systems?

Do you do this process to all your new 457 builds now? NVM, just saw your response to another person who asked this.

When will you be accepting actions to true and rebarrel? I have a 457 standing by. Thanks

Great work. 👍 Are those E bikes in the background?
