CZ457 currently 22LR. Do I need a PTA to buy and fit a 17HMR barrel?

You don't need a PTA to buy the new barrel, if it is a switch barrel arrangement leave it as 22LR but if it is going to stay as 17 you will need to inform LRD of the change of calibre.

Though, strange as it might seem...You can actually buy this rifle with the two barrels
