Yes.
Have it installed by someone who knows what they are doing. Check headspace. Fire.

CZ455 barrels are meant to be user interchangeable, they even sell package deals:
http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/455-american/ My question is whether the American barrel is the same outside diameter and taper as the Lux so as to fit the Lux stock. Thread on buying and installing an aftermarket premium barrel at http://rimfireshooting.com/index.php?showtopic=8318 |

I have a CZ455 American in 17 HMR. Have shot thousands of rounds through it. You won't be disappointed. Very accurate, especially for a light-barreled gun.

It would appear so. Here is a link on the CZ Forum answering your question...
http://www.czforum.com/index.php?topic=1661.0 I love my 455 Lux in 22 LR. Wouldn't the LGS let you try it on for fit?

How does the Lux look with the American barrel?

Have you shot any rounds through it yet and looked at the cases? I would think everything will be fine, but can you assume that headspace is correct just because the barrel fits on the gun?
