Look I have a Ruger 10/22 barrel on my Tikka T1x

[6mm Shooter]

I used this old barrel just to learn a few things before I machine my lilja to fit.

The temptation to shoot that as a .22 cal Battue would be overwhelming..

 

[Suther]

You are putting a lilja barrel into a T1X? Interesting.

 

[6mm Shooter]

I did shoot it.

Awwwwsum.

Most interesting thing is that Tikka uses retaining compound to take up about 6 thou of tolerance between the barrel and action. They also bevel the bottom edge of the chamber to make up for the fact they did not get the magazine angle right.

Yep, buts its amazing at some of the ideas that turn up! .....

Will you have to do this to your Lilja barrel?

I wonder if Kidd will make barrels for the T1X.

No I will machine it for a tight fit. They do it for ease of assembly.

I talked to Lilja the other day and asked if the will be making a drop in. They said they had no intentions because no one has asked. I said well that is because they are brand new. They said well we won’t be for quite a while then. I said goodbye I will do it myself.

I'm looking forward to see how your Lilja T1X performs

 

[savagelh]

I'm surprised you didn't leave the factory barrel on it. Seemed like it shot very well. Do you think the lilja will be an improvement?

^^^ Indeed LOL

Takes 5min to put the factory barrel back on. The custom barrel with a match chamber will shoot better there is no doubt. If I don’t do something with my time the wife makes me do trim and build closets.

Cool, keep posting updates

Are you cutting your own chamber?

 

[6mm Shooter]

Once I get my reamer I will be cutting the chamber.

 

[KDX]

What are you getting for a reamer?
