Tikka T1x bolt shroud

[6gunner]

My wife and kids bought me a new T1 for Christmas. I ordered a new bolt shroud and base last night. I searched the net but can’t find anything on how to remove it. For those of you who have replaced the shroud how did you do it?
There is a pin going through the shroud. Does this need to be removed and is it under spring tension? Thanks

Pull the bolt out. Hold the bolt steady and twist the shroud. The shroud will turn mayb 90 degrees and then will allow you to pull it off.

This thread is about as close as I've found for directions on removal and assembly.
And yes that pin has to be removed.
Once you do it a couple of times it gets easier...
Pay attention to the pin orientation one side is rounded so push it out from the other flat side.
An extra set of hands to reinsert the pin when you get the hole lined back up will help.
And like they say be careful of the red fire indicator it's made of light plastic.

T1X bolt disassembly/reassembly

I looked for but didn't find a helpful hints post on T1X bolt disassembly. the45man did note (thread "My Tikka T1X .22LR setup and observations/problems") that the cocking indicator was fragile, but I am looking for more detail than the manual provides on disassembly/reassembly. There seems to...

Thank you

What is the point in replacing the shroud? Aesthetics or some performance gain?

Drop the bolt, shroud down, on the concrete. When it breaks, you will suddenly understand why people replace it.

It’s made of plastic. The Sterk i replaced it with is metal.

Cannon Cross Fire - Any word on if/when/where the shrouds will be in stock in the USA?

Gonna need the Sterk swept bolt handle too. It's really good.

On this, since it being plastic and small usually a 1/4 stick of dynamite does the trick. You can use a 1/2 stick but it might bend or blow off the bolt handle. Whatever you do, do with caution and don't do it in the house at the kitchen sink.

I’m on the list with Sterk. No one in the states has then in stock.

I have been watching the Websites patiently awaiting them to be posted! Have to have the sweep handle and shroud!

Is it best to buy a shroud on back order or wait for notice it's back in stock? Both cases at euro optic...
