Re: Manners MCS-T4 for Tikka T3
The t3's all use the same plastic bottom parts, the mags are the same shape on the outside, the .308 win ( M ) magazine will not take .223 rounds, the lips are too far apart so you are stuck with the .223 mag.
that is:
untill we introduce our after market mag system for the T3. ( we are about 6 weeks or so off if all goes right)
We are right in the middle of a drop in mag system that uses AICS mags for the .308win based cartridges.
AI should have a .223 magazine to suit comming out soon. I expect Accurate Magazine will follow suit, if not we have .223 magazines that will work, but they are too expensive bieng a mag within a mag.
For the 6.5x55 to .338win tikka's we have another magazine lined up, the mag system will be the same, just the well will be different.
As i did with the Howa mag system, I will send Tom a mag system for the T3 so he has an example on shelf.
Ive actualy got some spare MCS T blanks here, and as soon as my stock milling machine gets delieverd i'm gonna have a go at putting a T3 in to it, Ive fitted Tikka 595's into the MCS T so i figure the T3 will go also.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Tom, put me down for some of the stocks. </span>I think you will find that using our bottom metal and the AICS mags you should be able to inlet most of your stocks for the T3.
