LW 17HMR barrel finally arrived for the CZ, yay! About the only manufacturer that was even making anything.
The specs say 20", but measures 19.5 on a table outside of the rifle, from the absolute end to end. I've read that the measurements are actually supposed to be from when it's installed and the bolt is closed.
I was just kinda bummed taking the 20.5" out, and noticing it's 1.25" shorter.
Also this is 22 vs 17, I don't know if that would affect the official measurement.
It's threaded, too, so I need a muzzle device, 1/2-28 (no cans). Found one that came pretty highly recommended and is super cheap vs most others, but not after getting it mounted.

Is it normal to require machining of these kinda brakes? It ain't cheap after needing an hour or two of shop time.
Pics for pics sake (omg what the hell is nasioc hosting doing lol)
