Tikka Centerfire Bolt Shroud (Faceted)
Fits the Tikka T3, T3x, M590, M595, M690 and M695
Does not fit Tikka models M558 and M658
CNC
machined from high grade aerospace 7075-T76 alloy and available in
either silver or black color options, this bolt shroud is the perfect
complement for your lightweight Tikka Centrefire build. At 0.47oz
(13.2g), our faceted shroud is less than half the weight of the factory diecast shroud on the T3x (1.07oz / 30.2g), and
significantly stronger and harder than other aftermarket shrouds
made from 6061 grade alloy. We machine the internals to tight tolerances
which is instantly apparent by the lack of slop when removing your
older plastic (T3, M590, M695, M690 and M695) or more recent diecast (T3x)
factory shroud and replacing it with ours. This is not just a decorative
part, the shroud is designed
to protect the shooter's face in the rare event of a cartridge rupture
or failure, where hot gas and powder debris can travel back through the
bolt body via the firing pin hole. We manufacture these in
significantly large enough volumes to keep the price as competitive as
possible given the materials and tolerances involved.
Notes
- All
shrouds come with a small coil spring which is optional to install and is identical to the coil spring Tikka supplies as standard (ours is stainless steel). This spring takes up the slack of a necessary tolerance
designed into the shroud to ensure proper function of your firing pin
assembly across any Tikka Centerfire bolt assembly. Installing the spring will remedy any minor noise made by the shroud in
this dimension when out hunting.
- Our shrouds are CNC machined to a tolerance within +/- 0.05mm (approx
+/- 2 thou) in the critical dimension that locks into the firing pin
assembly. This dimension has been cut slightly deeper than required to
account for
variations discovered between different rifles tested. In an early
production run we didn't account for a tolerance here which
resulted in this batch not fitting some of the rifles where assembly was
attempted!
