New Tikka T3 Bolt Shrouds

Well, like every other T3 owner, my plastic bolt shroud ended up in the bin!.

Unfortunately, I really didn't like any of the aluminium shrouds available, as they are all of a very "simple" design, hexagonal in shape.

Anyhow, I have designed and had CNC'd some new bolt shrouds in 6061-T5 Aluminium, they have been sandblasted and black anodised, and are nearly identicle to the standard T3 bolt shroud, keeping my T3 looking as it should.
I won't say they are exactly the same, of course there are some differences, but visually they are very very similar on the outside. Inside varies a lot more due to the fact they had to be CNC'd rather than injection moulded.

Anyway, pictures speak a thousand words;

Hope you guys like them. I have had a few made so there will be a number available.

Thanks for the comments.

We have priced these at £39.99 posted in the UK, and estimate they will be ~£45 posted to the USA (I should be able to confirm this figure by next week).

Great to see more and more Tikka T3 tuning parts comming out, the more plastic you can get rid of on a T3 the better a rifle it becomes.

at 39 quid you aren't making much on them !! I'd be interested in your trade sales price. the rounded original shape complements a stalking rifle well.

don't forget if you're sending these outside the UK you need to apply for export licenses, getting cought out without isn't worth the risk.
