Tikka t3x in bravo chassis

[Ryan Spivey]

So I’m a bit dumb, when I got my tikka and stock it came with a CTR mag. But the chassis I ordered accepts AICS mags only. The chassis right handed but I milled out the left side cause I shoot lefty. I’ve read that the tikka can take both but I don’t know what mags work. I’ve tried 2 so far and the didn’t work/feed. If I could get help that’d be great

I run a CTR in KRG Bravo. I bought the version that runs the ctr mags. They make one for that and one for AICS mags

Mine feeds smooth and flawlessly from my stock ctr mag

what mags did you try? what cartridge?

6.5 cm and I tried some .308 magpul mags. They said they were AICS

Pretty sure KRG states Magpul AICS won't work with their Tikka chassis.

^^^^^ THIS! From the KRG site...

Reading is fundemental:

*The Tikka inlet accepts T3, T3x, and CTR versions, however slight mods may be required on the trigger-guard for the T3 TAC A1 to function properly. Tikka rifles accept AICS pattern mags with the exception of the Magpul AICS polymer mags.

If you want the Magpul AICS mags to work in a Tikka KRG chassis, you have to do a considerable amount of grinding to the feed lips on the mag to get it to seat and feed properly. Still not the best approach in my opinion, but it does work...
Left is untouched, right is modified lips to fit in Tikka KRG.
After the mods, the mag still seats and feeds my Impact that sits in a Manners with PTG bottom metal.
