Just to up date. My 'smith peened the barrel and pressed it back in using loc tite. I can't say he hurt the accuracy, because now it groups. I will have to find ammo it likes. I can say the feel of this 541T is nowhere as good as the CZ's. Rough bolt, poor mag feeding(to impossible), and extraction issues. Ya, I know I said 541s, that was what the owner had put on the stock and the scope covered the engraving. Might be a gunshow trader. Wouldn't want anyone I know to buy this at the the price I need to replace it.
