ejg223 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Maybe Tikka changed the process and all are like that?? My stainless CTR from ~May didn't have the issue. I haven't seen it on any older ones either. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCetrizine Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I wonder if they got partly exposed to salty air on the boat from Finland to Oz and the importer tried to be sneaky and clean them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Foxer Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Who knows but they they look and feel terrible. I wouldn't have wanted to sell it but if I did, the first question would have been "why's the barrel two different colours and feels different halfway along its length " I wouldn't buy it second hand.

snakeman Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Seems the consignment to Oz was flawed (in some way) ....perhaps,as already mentioned, exposed to the elements on the journey down-under? Would this have an adverse affect on a barrel No problems with the one I received, thankfully (and shoots a dream)..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldon Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I sent my t3v stainless rifle back because it went rusty.barrel and action.the barrel is not made of stainless steel but contains a certain amount of stainless in the mix.they blasted it again and never had a problem since.it was gone for a week. Think you mean "chromium" not "stainless"! Lots of people think stainless is something super duper one and all but that's a bit like saying a car, is it a Rolls Royce or a £50 banger? All the 4xx grade stainless steels rust but then they are magnetic whereas the 3xx grades i.e. your cutlery of 316 doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
