Tikka T3 Mags

[varminter.223]

Whotcha!

 

My mate just picked up a T3 Stainless varminter .223 (1: 8 Twist). Reason he bought it was he wanted to launch 69gn and 75gn missiles. The problem is he cant fit the 75's in the mag (not sure about the 69's he didn't mention those!).Defeats the purpose of having a fast twist/ mag feed if you cant load the projectiles

 

Has anyone got round (pun not intended)this problem?

 

Thanks in advance!

I believe the 77gr SMK's will be ok to load as these are designed to be loaded into mag length! primerily for AR15's

hi

i modifyed mine so they fitted , you need to take mag apart (4 snap lugs need drilling out ) then carefully file the back end to reqiered length ,glue a block of plastic or corrrect length and width where you have just filed because its hollow only top of mag is solid.then you need to extend the slider using an epoxy resin sanded to shape when hard and painted black , hareldite bottom of mag back on and presto job done works a treat and you cant notice its been done , just take your time and have the tools to do it (dremmel,file ,piller drill ect )
