Who can re-barrel a Tikka
- Thread starter xURSOx
- Start date
From all the research I have done. T3's are 16TPI, or perhaps a metric thread pitch that is virtually indistinguishable.
I pulled the barrel off my T3 and tried several different 16 TPI thread gauges in it, they all fit perfectly. So I threaded my barrel 16TPI.
I may have made a massive error here, but I am certainly not the only that has done it.
If you are going to have the action trued up, they will certainly clean up to a real 16 TPI, if they aren't already.
I am sure others will chime in shortly.

Check out Criterion barrels they are doing prefit for Tikka and Remington now. Still need go- no go gauges and a Savage barrel nut wrench
Tikka's and sako's that are destined for the north American market are more likely to have a 1 x 16 thread at least this is what I read one time . I've also never come across a metric one yet and have rebarreled quite a few all had 16 tpi x 1"
So it's a pretty straight forward job pick a gunsmith that you are comfortable with and getter done

As you can see by the marks on the barrel it slipped in the barrel wrench. I just used an action vice and barrel wrench I made. That barrel was on there very tightly. Tighter than anything else I've had to take off before.
Where does one get a "go / no go gauge"? I've been thinking of doing this myself and a prédit barrel would be awesome ... or I'll just source an OEM on the EE.
Here's what I want to do:
In NB you can only use calibers larger than .224 during hunting season. Outside of that, if you have a varmint license you can carry .224 and under almost all year. I have a T3 CTR in .308 and T3 in .223. I'd like to get a .223 barrel for the CTR and just swap between calibers while keeping the stock and optics the same (rather than buying another scope).
Any idea where one gets a .223 T3 bolt and for how much?

Probably looking at just buying a new rifle. I once checked in on getting a T3 barrel and the cost was only $20-$60 shy of a whole new T3 rifle. Bolt was pricy too but not quite as bad.

Thanks for all the help guys. I called insite, but their lead times are quite lengthy at the moment. Another CGN'r sent me a message regarding EM Precision Rifles. Steve Emblin did a fantisitc job on this build!
All thats left is a brake, which Insite Arms will win that spot!
Thats guys for all your reccomendations!
Hornady 200gr VLD-X over H4350 are perfect for ragged holes and for Moose! (Rifle is chambered in .300WSM).
