For those of you thinking of buying a CZ American 527, you need to know that the barrel is not free floated from the factory. Having shot about 200 rounds down the tube already and getting so-so results, under an inch at 100, I went ahead and floated the barrel. I know this gun will shoot in the .5's at 100 because every now and then I can do it the way it is. I feel that it needed to be floated so I went ahead and go to it this morning.

I started off with a 13mm deep well socket with a 400 grain sandpaper wrapped around it. I took and ran the socket in the barrel channel starting from the action end. I did this until that socket fit completely in the barrel channel. I then moved up to the 14mm socket and did the same thing. It turned out very uniform and clear all the way up to the barrel lug area. It was actually easier than I thought it was going to be. I will take it out to the range this week and see the results and then put about 4 coats of tung oil in the barrel channel on the sanded area.
