CZ 457 KRG Bravo to X-Ray conversion

331 Views 6 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Desert J
Just checking to see if anyone has fitted an X-Ray/Whiskey 3 rear section to a Bravo on a CZ 457? I've got an X-Ray on a Remington 700 and much rather that grip over the Bravo and I'm hoping to swap it onto the CZ. I've sent an email to KRG and they're going to check fitment when they get a spare moment but it may be a month or so. I don't mind a little Dremel bubba work but if it isn't necessary that would be great.
I'm hoping someone may have some information as I'm in Australia and I'm worried that if I wait too long for KRG's reply the local stockist may be out of stock then.

See below KRG's reply to my original email,

Lachy, we are going to try the Xray rear on the Bravo for CZ457. Due to the trigger guard being specific to the Bravo for CZ457 there will be modifications needed. I would like to make sure this is completely fictional and reliable before I tell you it will work. this is a combination that we have not given much time to, yet! Please allow some time for us to make sure this will be a quality set up. If you will allow us a month for testing, I will do my best to have a solid answer. If this does work you will be able to purchase the Xray rear, a set of grips, do a mod then add this to your Bravo for CZ457. If you do not hear from us, please contact us! We get hundreds of emails and I do not want you to be lost in the ocean of emails.

I was thinking about doing the same thing and I have both parts to give it a try. If I have enough time this wknd I will try and get them swapped and let you know. I cant promise I will have time with a newborn at home but I will if I have time.

If you do happen to get a chance to check that would be amazing!

OK so it will not just be a simple switch back ends and you're done. There is a small tab that will need to be cut and smoothed out some. Its super simple but I cannot tell you how reliable it will be.

I plan to use this in my next match which will be June 10th, don't know if you want to wait that long. If you are only planning bench stuff should be ok and honestly I think it will be ok for my prs match but want to proof it before I say its all good. The rear action screw basically holds the trigger guard in place and the white rod will hold the front still with the grips from the xray. The white rod is captured in place with the normal bravo grip.

In the pics you will see the piece that needs trimmed before and after, then it will be the grip without trimming and after on the chassis.

It looks so close to being perfect doesn't it! Due to work I have to skip June's NRL match so if you could give an update after your PRS match that would be awesome!
How about posting a long shot of how it looks put togeather?

I just found out last night that our MD has a graduation the wknd of our match so I wont have one until July to actually try it out.

I am ordering a slightly different grip for the right side of the chassis but I will post a pic when I get it all put together.
