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.


Current pricing and additional info can be found on my website here: https://www.prprecisionrifles.com/products-1/p/tikka-t3-bolt-body

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.
 
Kyndric: I'm not a barrel maker but if you wanted me to put a build together for you I'd be happy to chat...

Endernumberone: I offer bolt fluting as a regular service so there's no issue there. To manufacture these "pre fluted" gets complicated fast as not everyone wants fluting and those who do, often want different patterns.
Any of these can be fluted, creating a two tone effect similar to this:


If anyone wants fluting to be done pre-Nitriding (black on black) I'd be happy to do so, It would just be a pre-order situation.
 
I've had a few requests for this. I'm happy to do so as special order at this point (also making a couple to suit 9mm Luger). We'll see if the demand is there to make them a regularly stocked item.
Nitriding is the only catch as it requires sending a quantity of bolts in at a time, in order to be cost effective.
Throwing in 2-3 'custom' faces into the batch isn't an issue, I just need to know ahead of time when I'm making a run.

Speaking of which, I'll be sending in another batch the end of June, so if you're interested, let me know.
Regards,
Paul.
