The hunt for a CZ 452 continues I suppose.

That's an option if you can find one but ADCO can cut, crown and thread a 455 barrel for $65 + shipping. A 16.5" 452 American will be hard to find and if you do you'll still end up with mis-matched finish (matte blue receiver, bright polished barrel - one of my pet peeves with that model) and you'll need a thread adapter to mount a standard 1/2-28 direct thread suppressor to it.
452's are nice (I currently have 2 of them) and I know some people like to put the 452s on a pedestal and poo-poo the 455s but I actually like the changes CZ did from the 452 to 455 rifles. Honestly, if I was choosing between a factory CZ 452 American with the 16.5" threaded barrel or a 455 that ADCO cut, crowned and threaded, I'd get the 455/ADCO rifle but maybe that's just me?
