Tikka T3 Thread

I have to imagine it's because they're not very popular. AB has had them for quite a few years and they're probably a pretty small and bespoke part of the market. I think there's potential in increasing sound performance in applications like Broad River Tactical SD Hub adapter, but so far in more conventional designs like AB Raptors the gains seem pretty conservative compared to what manufacturers seem to be able to achieve with advancements in baffle design. And while moving some weight further back is better than forward, the reflex modules are still just additional weight. And then they of course restrict the guns they can be used on due to barrel thickness or complexity of mounts in the OPS Inc version.
Wildcat moderators (UK) have adapters at the rear that you can swap out for different barrel diameters. I like the reflex design to reduce length, being able to dismantle them for cleaning is very handy too.

I'd be interested to see how much reflex volume it takes to equal the performance of just one more baffle. I talked to AB a couple of years ago about additional reflexes and they said the can is submitted to the ATF specific to the reflex you opt for during purchase.

HOW can you have a name and picture as an ode to Ron Swanson and not be able to take off a Tikka barrel?!?

Ron is so disappointed.
I'm sure Ron would... and I see you posted 6 of yours have been cake. Neither of mine are budging, and that plus the sporter lite barrels being a huge PITA to not have slip means its much easier for me to pay a smith (my guns are 10 yrs old, re: your hypothesis the new ones might be easier).

I also know every time this topic comes up a few people come out of the woodwork saying it was super easy for them and the rest of the internet that has trouble are idiots.

I should have been smarter than to post a simple request for first hand experience with a gunsmith on a gun forum.

Have you tried bacon?
