I've been wanting to try to shoot a ARA Match with a Factory Class rifle. I have a 457 MTR stock ... and a 457 MTR barrel and a 457 action. All bought used at different times. Poor boy all the way. So the action SR# and barrel SR# don't match. All the parts are CZ 457 unmodified parts. Will my rifle be legal if I go this route?
Thanks!

I agree with the others. It's a no because it's not actually a production rifle. If this kind of thing were allowed people would be buying a rifle and then going through various barrels to find the best shooter

Just got a matched serial numbers barreled action a few minutes ago so I can continue to .... Dream on.

Looking forward to trying it out.
I don't remember exactly where you're at in TX but I'd love to see you at one our matches at N. TX. Let me know if you have any questions or how I can help get you started

What is the difference on the stock ?
I'm not sure I understand your question but don't think it matters if it's not the original oem stock that came from the factory with a particular barreled action because stocks do not have a serial #. My understanding is as long as it's the stock from the factory for that particular model you're ok. I was in a similar situation earlier this year where the original owner bought a CZ 457 Varmint MTR last year from a CZ dealer who happens to be my s-i-l's brother. The guy sold off the MTR stock and bought an AT-One stock only later to find out he couldn't shoot factory class even though CZ offers an AT-One but it's not the same exact rifle. I bought the preowned rifle knowing I couldn't shoot factory class so I recently bought a replacement Varmint MTR stock direct from CZ and can now legally shoot factory class. Per the CZ rep the replacement stock I bought is not serialized yet it is the oem stock issued from the factory for the 457 Varmint MTR. Furthermore, per the CZ rep for all intents and purposes exact replacement stocks could have been a warranty item and that still doesn't constitute exemption from factory class. I will shoot it and my new 457 Varmint MTR I bought a few months ago in factory class should I ever compete and will still sleep well at night.
