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.

Looks very nice. What's the cost for one?
 
Re: New Tikka T3 Bolt Shrouds

Nice work PhilM, the plastic shroud is a joke I'm afraid so this is a great aftermarket add-on. PM sent on obtaining one.
 
Re: New Tikka T3 Bolt Shrouds

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).

Sign me up. Mine hasn't broke yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

Looks great.

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.
