So you replace the bolt shroud, the bolt knob, the bolt handle, the bottom metal, and if one day it's offered the mag I'm sure, and the stock possibly... I think I'll pass on the T3.
Don't really need one as the T3 is the bestest rifle ever and super accurate and kewl BUT I may want one just to have a neato accessory.
It's almost like dressing up my AR15's, Ruger 10/22's or even the Harley........but if I have to explain........

I'm not likely to get it, I'm a boring old Ruger M77 guy...
Nothing's made of plastic or gets changed, and nothing breaks or falls off, just take it hunting.

Definitley would be interested.
Finally, an update:
The machine in my garage was fine for the shroud, but I wanted better equipment to deal with the more complex shapes involved in the bottom metal. Also, I don't have my own lathe, which would be required for the handle. I approached my employer to let him know I had a project that he might be interested in...
My proposal was received more enthusiastically than I might have guessed. It seems to have been the final factor in a decision to purchase 3D scanning and printing equipment that has been of interest to the company for a while. We're going to use this project as a starting point for learning the new equipment, and the parts will ultimately be available through a website.
Of course, this is still a side project. Be patient, keep an eye on this thread, and I will eventually have more "made in Canada" bling for your beloved Tikkas.
Cheers all.
