Tikka Replacement Bolt Bodies

[PR Cook]

I am very pleased to be adding the manufacture of bolt bodies for the Tikka Platform to my product line up!


The more I’ve worked with these actions the more impressed I’ve become with their build quality and consistent tolerances. Couple that with the single action length,
the only missing link to making these rifles a true, switch barrel platform has been the lack of availability of bolt bodies with different bolt face diameters.


I’ve had the privilege of being able to inspect/measure many Tikka rifles coming through my shop and, over time, have accumulated
a sizable library of dimensional data and tolerancing variance.


My bolts are dimensioned to hit the middle of that bell curve, ensuring the best compatibility with factory “take off” barrels and the growing number of aftermarket prefits available today.
That said, These are NOT sold as a “drop in” part.
Indeed, anytime a barrel is installed, headspace MUST be verified by a qualified person using appropriate gauges.


My T3 bolt bodies are CNC machined from 4340 and Nitrided for excellent long term durability and corrosion resistance. They are available in both Left and Right hand configurations and with .223, .308 and Belted Magnum bolt face diameters.


.223 Bolt Face...


.308/standard Bolt Face...


Belted Magnum Bolt Face...


Internal bolt parts are not included, but are interchangeable regardless of bolt face diameter. You can swap out from your existing bolt in a couple minutes, or order a spare set.

Paul,

How they are trued to the receiver?

[PR Cook]

Well, the process of truing would be the same as that required for any bolt/receiver; setup each part in a lathe, dial true to axis and lightly face to ensure all bearing surfaces are perpendicular to bore axis.

That said, Tikka does a very good job of building actions that are straight and true. I have yet to see a Tikka that benefited from "blueprinting/truing" as is common in Remington and other actions. (Remington bolts heads, for instance, are silver soldered onto the bolt body and are often crooked to one degree or another)

My bolts are turned in one set up, ensuring all features are concentric and perpendicular to each other thereby making these bolts "true" from the get go.

Excellent! I’ve been thinking about converting my Tikka from 6.5 CM to 6.5 PRC!

This is amazing!!

[Desjard]

very nice

[Dorian Gray]

I like this. It's giving me ideas.

[mineguy]

I can attest to Paul's work and love this approach.

[bdb.hunting]

Glad to see these on the market.

Mine has been working great for a while now. Might have to get me a 223 one day

This is very interesting, perhaps there is a way to line up a bundle deal, barrel + bolt body?
