Thread: T3 300wm 10 shot mag kit

Finally got my milled stock back from the tool maker today, I got it back a week ago but in fitting the new bottom metal to it the bolt would not pick up the rounds or if it did they jammed.
After a few hours of thinking about it I came to the conclusion that more metal had to be removed, approx 2mm from the two faces that the bottom metal bolts thru to the action. Dropped it back to the toolmaker on Monday who knows sfa about guns, had to load a mag to show him what needs doing, all sweet and I pick it up this arfo on the way home.


All the shiny bits have had metal carved out, even so there is still lots of meat left compared to a standard Tikka stock.

My next problem was when I assembled the new bottom metal and loaded a mag and cycled the bolt the bolt wouldn't go all the way forward, took a couple of minutes to figure it out, because I took 2mm of the mounting block the rear action screw was protruding thru the action and catching the rear of the bolt, took the action screw out and filed 2mm off it and re-assembled it, inserted a loaded mag and she cycled spot on until the last round.

When the last round was ejected the plastic mag follower popped up and stopped the bolt going forward, simple fix, pulled the mag apart and filed a chamfer, all good. She cycles perfectly.

Next of to the range and see what she groups like, if it works out ok I'll get another B&C stock and do the 308.
