The principle of operation of the CZ-457 carbine
CZ-457 Carbon is a classic repeating carbine, based on a slide-twist (4-barrel) lock. Locking is carried out through symmetrically located bolts, corresponding to the locking resistance. Such a system is simple and reliable, plus easy to clean and maintain. It also ensures high precision shooting and withstands the various pressures of the ammunition used.
Precision cold-forged barrel in CZ-457
The CZ 457 Carbon uses a precision stainless steel barrel with a MATCH chamber. Thanks to the high quality of the barrel's manufacture, it matches the accuracy of Varmint models, offering exceptional precision combined with lightness, which translates into very good results on the target.
