Thread: Tikka Synthetic stock shortening.

I just recently cut down my stock by 20mm for my Trex arms. 15mm probably would of been better but i can always add a spacer if i need to.

My original plan was to trim a bit of wood to size to fit into the stock and glue it in there and then screw the recoil pad in. But the screw holes go pretty deep in the stock.
You will just have to shorten the screws or drill the screw holes deeper as my stock split when the screw bottomed out inside the original hole.

Im not sure if the T3x stock is the same design. Im sure someone who has replaced the recoil pad can say.


A few more pictures for anyone else who wants to do this in the future.
The "webbing / honeycomb" support that sits inside the factory stock. This might need to get ground down slightly or something new made to fit inside to give the stock some support and stop it from flexing.


The inside of factory T3 stock when you remove the recoil pad and support structure (before being chopped). You can see it just sits on webbing that supports the screw holes and the recoil pad.



I put up with too long LOP on rifles for 4 years. Man i wish i did this sooner.
