Thread: Tikka Synthetic stock shortening.

Just thought I'd share this little project.

I've just purchased (well, about to pay for it) @Maca49 Tikka .223 for the youngest.

I was thinking of getting a Boyd's, but chopping up a stock that cost so much seemed a little stupid. Particularly when you're not that gifted in the workshop.

I had a spare stock floating around as my .243 wears a Stug, so after a little reading, I chopped it with the drop saw.
The holes that the recoil pad screw into are quite long and went back past the cut off area so that gives me something to fasten the new recoil pad into.
Luckily enough, I had a Pachmayer grind to fit that has been waiting for a project and is half the thickness vs the original Tikka pad.
I have cut down one screw and used another shorter screw to secure the bottom where the sling stud gets in the way.

I just need to grind the pad down to fit and we are away with a "Tikka youth" stock.

I'll post up when it's all done.
