Cz 457 barrel and stock swaps

Hey all, probably a question for RFC, but this site is easier to navigate from a phone and I am going to be in a hospital room for the next day and boredom is getting the best of me.

Just had a baby and ended up buying him a CZ457 scout from sportsmans warehouse. This kid is more than likely going to out grow the youth stock before he's 10 or so judging by the fact that newborn clothes are snug already, haha

A member here was selling a stock and barrel from a 457 American but I was a day late and I belive the stock may be spf.

I want to have a full size stock and 20-24" barrel just in case the 457 goes the way of the 452 in the next 10 years. I am having a hard time locating the American style stock. Assuming I buy a sporter type barrel found on the 457 American, would the stock from a 17hmr/22 mag 457 fit the 22 lr barrel without modification? I know it's early and I should probably post a wtb ad first, but it looks like 457 22mags are plenty available for decent retail prices, so I am thinking if all else fails I'll buy the 22mag for the stock and pick up a used or take off barrel. Worst case I get it for the stock and can't find the 22lr barrel atleast it'll fit him though might look like a manlicher with the 16" barrel

Here's a link to the one I got for an actual birthday present
 
22 mag and 17 HMR require a different mag as well as a spacer has to be removed to shoot them. CZ offers the barrel, magazine and spacer as a Kit. Lots of luck finding them in stock though. I looked for one for my 455, till I finally gave the idea up.
 
As many guys as there are who've bought 457s and then changed the bbl & stock out for something more competitive or what they think will be competitive, you shouldn't have a problem finding take-off parts. Check the classifieds over on RFC or Snipers Hide.
 
To clarify my response. New factory kits from cz to change the barrel may be hard to find. That's all I ever looked for.
 
Well mysteriously all the 22 mag 457s from one seller sold out since posting here and rfc haha
 
I have a few new take off 457 22lr barrels. 1 from an American and at least 1heavy. No stocks though. Send me a PM if you are interested in a barrel.
