These photos are from my 6.5SAUM with about 350 rounds on it. The bad pictures are from an inch or two after the throat. The good picture is middle of the barrel. Is that just carbon or is that fire cracking of the steel? Should I keep trying to scrub it out or is it part of the barrel...
Long Rifles Inc in Sturgis SD did this for my factory barrel. It was a Tikka T3 lite stainless 300WSM. The problem is that those profile of barrels are too thin for there to be a shoulder behind the threads for a muzzle device to tighten up against. LRI machined a nut(which was like a thick...
Thanks bigfoot. I contacted bugholes and they only do the .223 conversion. Nothing for magnum and no plans for magnum. Where did you get your magnum setup?
Hey man it looks like you have 5.56, 308, and a magnum bolt heads here. Are these short action bolts or ASR? I’d like to run mangum (saum or PRC) and 556 in my ATX but I’m not aware of that being possible. Let me know if I’m wrong.
I use a kifaru shapecharge for NRL and other field matches and it works great. I also fly with it and use it for my office commuter. I also want to try the panel loader pack of a similar size from HPG. their harness is more comfortable than kifaru and mystery ranch.
@cannoncrossfire , you are the godfather of Tikka accessories and installing a Tikka into a AI chassis. This rifle (and your swept bolt knobs) was the inspiration for building the TAX.
Behold the TAX (Tikka in an AX)
I milled out the chassis, bedded the recoil lug into the chassis and bedded the action. I did this about a year ago. Runs well and feeds smooth.
I just got my new ATX in today. The bolt is quite surprisingly hard to close on an empty chamber. With the safety in the middle position it closes like butter. But with the safety forward it is hard enough to close that I think there is something wrong with the bolt. I took the shroud off and...
Thanks for all the replies guys. Looks like the Tikka/lilja m24 26"/bravo/USO/atlas cal will be close to 17.5 lbs which is what I am after with that one. My Tikka/proof carbon/XLR element magnesium/mk5 combo will have no problem being sub 12lbs. It will be the NRL hunter/nightforce ELR hunter...
I’m hoping someone has the exact weight of a factory Tikka CTR barrel they pulled off. I’m re barreling to a Lilja and want the weight to be right under 16 pounds. Lemme know, if you know.
Thanks.
