Thread: Tikka T3 bolts

BTW I also remove the magazine in transit too and it goes in the ammo pouch on my day bag, as I hear those too can just.... dissapear... of course all designed features by the manufacturers.

Wrap a metre or two of this around your mag and bolt...am a bit surprised that Tikka's don't come with a roll...of course this is right hand tape, but I imagine they make it for lefties as well.
