Thread: Newbie question - Halfbolt added to Tikka T3 Lite - was it done wrong?

Hi guys,

I'm a real hunting and shooting newbie, but something doesn't seem right...

I got a Tikka T3 Lite as I'm a lefthander. My first gun. I have not yet fired a round through it.
Anyway, I got Gunworks to get it suppressed, and the trigger-lightened. My cousin suggested that I get a half-bolt added as well, so I asked for that as well.

I got the gun back, and everything is fine, but the half-bolt seems wrong.
When I have the half-bolt on, and pull the trigger, the gun appears to "fire". The bolt will go all the way down, and the indicator dot on the end of the gun shows that it has "fired".

Pulling the trigger with safety on and half-bolt on will do nothing, but I suspect that this is the safety doing it's job.

I thought that pulling the trigger when the half-bolt was on should do nothing.
am I wrong here?


Cheers,
Scott.
