yoteman, upload the pics you have to a free pic hosting site.
Many use photobucket.com, picasaweb.google.com or one of these:

List of photo-sharing websites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Once uploaded, the image code can be copied from the hosting site
then pasted into the forum reply window so that they will display here.

this for example is the url for a hosted image:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-.../AAAAAAAABa0/heigmz-hSwE/s786/455VL-right.JPG

produces this image linked from the hosting site when bracketed with img display code

jbell an justin, thanks for all the help,
tinkered a little last night, found it,
i had the bolt knob turned down, an new tac knob installed, gun smith, must had recoated, with KG,
was a little thicker that factory, on closing bolt, with the tighter lilja barrel,the extra buikd up at bolt lock in, was the promblem. worked it, with some lube polish, now all ok, thanks for your info,
now for range time, it the pouring piss out a boot rain will stop see how it shoots.
also thanks to short bus the manners stock looks like it should, damm that guy is good with a air brush.
an by the way i no 2 barrels not the same, but what ammo working for you gents.
have a few boxes of 922A. center X(which a need to save for my annie). wolf match,
can get my hands on some midas plus,an others, wish i had some polar

 

[justin amateur]

Always the simple things that make it difficult.
Of my latest ammo deliveries consistency has been in direct relationship to cost.
RWS R50, RWS R100, Tenex, Midas+ have been the best from my Lilja's.
CenterX and Wolf ME are acceptable but do produce more flyers.
SK Rifle Match and SK Pistol Match have also been very reliable when I can find some.
CCI SV is my warm up ammo, glad I got 2 cases before the panic.

i had the bolt knob turned down, an new tac knob installed,

Who did the bolt knob install?

I have a Kampfeld knob, but can't find a shop to install. The only one who would do it, wanted $90 just to install the knob.

pinecone a good friend of mine who is a damm good smith did,
BUT!!! he told me if it was any body eles forget it, no more cz bolt work even for me,
reason, cz uses some hard metal for frist 1/8" or so on bolt, he broke a $100 bit on mine to find that out,
but in the end, came out great, bolt was turn down an threaded instead of weld on,
made the tac knob to fit the profile of action an amnners stock, i like it a lot,
clears scope with no problem,
look at moses the tank tread on his cz an bushnell, his smith must have it down pat,
he mite do it, also i think mose's has the best damm looking cz out ther JMO.
if i find his thread i will let you know who the smith was

 

[Pinecone]

So far the only one I found to do it is Hooper.

I may end up going that way. I have heard about the issue with the metal.

after we found out about hardnes of the outside of knob, he would have used a grinder frist, befor setting up in jig for the cnn final trun down an thread
good luck, i think i was worth it with use of a scope

 

[jbell]

Is the bolt handle threw hardened or just surface hardened?

 

[yoteman]

jbell mine was just surface hardened,
after all was done (broke bit, metal in eye,) if it is ground down fist, then set up/in bolt jig, to be turned down an threaded . much better. we are talking ball bearing hard, (wood pecker lips hard,)
but to me to clear scope, without busting my tumb on cocking it was worth it
jbell after smith got 1/8" in it finished up just like a reminigton
be carful some have claimed air pockets (voids in metal of knob) deeper in from surface
