Tikka T3 Thread

I could order a suppressor from US, but for sure i would be not able to do that, because i am not a US citizen, and i could not get the suppressor tax stamp, but if i could, i could order one and get it to Finland with a 43€ import licence from a Finnish police.
But if i would not have a gun licence in Finland, i would be not able to do it, suppressor is kind of a firearms part that needs a licence in Finland, these use to be like a licence free items before 2016, when they did made the rules a bit, and it is a firearm part, and needs a
license to buy one in Finland, but not a extra papers etc, as long as you have a firearm licence, no matter is it rimfire, a shotgun you can buy the suppressor you want, and as many as you wish, for sure you wont need these a dozen, just a few, maybe five or six :D

But yes, for the can i have on the end of my .260Rem Varmint Tikka.
This end cap i a proto version, only one port and it needs to point upward.
It has a timing nut behind the brake, so it is easy to fix to the right angle.
I have not take a shot with this can yet, it is raining, same shit tomorrow, and even more after that.
So waiting for the right weather to go out and do the test, kind of looking forward to get and do it :)
The suppressor baffles are stainless, shell is alloy and i do believe that the muzzle is also stainless.
There are also tiny holes on the other side of the port of the brake, maybe 2mm.
I am doing a video of this can, and i can add it here, if you want so see, how it does performed.

We can't import nfa except for specific purposes. Essentially LEO only.

"With certain exceptions, NFA firearms may only be imported for the use of the United States or any
State or possession or political subdivision thereof such as a law enforcement agency; for scientific or
research purposes; solely for testing or use as a model by a registered manufacturer; or solely for use as
a sample by a registered importer or registered dealer."

Just giving you shit. Your English is 10000000x better than my Finnish. Hats off for you doing English-speaking vids…they’re fun to watch!
 
Does anyone know if this piece on a Tikka firing pin is available separate.
The entire assembly isn't terrible but I thought maybe save a couple bucks.

I punched a primer and it broke the little tab off that holds the shroud on, purely aesthetic but I think it looks better with the shroud on.

You're in luck! Numrich has it.

Otherwise you have to get a complete firing pin.

Or try to fight to get one from Beretta. These are easier. I personally haven't had to mess with them.

Hahaha. I didn't have an answer right off the top of my head but did a little bit of looking.

We all tend to forget about numrich arms, but I’ve found many an odd piece there.

No.

The firing pin will only come as assembled, as it shown in the picture.
I have asked this from the factory last year.
I was, still am iterested to do a dual spring for Tikka firing pin, like there is for Remington 700.
But not sure will it ever work, since that Tikka spring is so short, even the firing pin is so long.
Tubb design.
 
Any recommendations of gunsmiths people have used other than LRI for Tikka barrel removal that salvages the barrel? I also want to get 2 bolts and a barrel fluted, and some cerakote work.

I was thinking of contacting Unknown Munitions and J/A outdoors... they both seem to be right near each other and may use Kampfeld Customs, from my research. I know they both resell Tikka Barrels so I assume they remove them without a relief cut.

Looking for any recommendations / other options.
 
It’s just not that complicated to remove a barrel. Go back a few pages and there’s a whole narrative about how to do it. It’s easy if you take your time.

Speaking as someone who is well into the high 20s on barrel removals and swaps on T3 action, maybe even the low 30s.

And I’m not a gunsmith. Nor did I sleep at a holiday inn.

Good for you. I've tried 2 of them, they weren't budging. I'd rather pay someone than deal with it, and you might have noted that I have stuff to get fluted anyways.

Appreciate your non-helpful answer though.

I'm with you, if I was just doing one id send it to someone like kampfield to get it off or find a local smith with all the tools already to get it off. Last one I soaked for a week and still needed a pipe wrench to get it off destroying any future resell value.
 
Thanks for the sarcastic reply.

I remain unsure what people think the gunsmith has that you don't have?

I once asked Long Rifles how they do it, and they said a good barrel vise, an internal action wrench, a large 3/4" socket wrench, and a pipe of some sort to get additional leverage. Wrap the barrel in the vise with some rough paper (I use a cut down paper towel core) for additional gription, and to prevent marring of the barrel. I also have my barrel vise bolted to a 8 foot 2x4 that I stand on one end, and put the other end under something heavy (like my safe) for additional leverage.

How do you think Tikka installed them in the first place?

And, you can just send the parts to be fluted without the action attached.

Was trying to save you some $$ and give you an additional skill.

But you do you.
