From my research, CF is just a finicky surface to apply paint/coatings to. If the coating is a solid color, it’ll show every imperfection in the CF resin. The more colors the more the imperfections will be hidden. It’s why most bike and auto businesses don’t paint CF and instead leave the CF...
1a) do not get the lite contour inlet… but it does look like Ryan may axe it all together and turn it into a collectable.
1b) 3b for the aesthetic of minimal gap with a factory lite barrel.
1c) sendero for functionality due to clearance and versatility.
2) 20 v 22 v 24... Go 20”

Any type of coating (cerakote, paint, etc) will better protect the epoxy resins that bond the carbon fiber from UV degradation. Unless a UV resistant epoxy or finish was used.
Shouldn’t be a big concern but food for thought for those who live in areas with persistent and powerful sun.
@Formidilosus concerning the spacers to increase LOP, are the butt pads glued or screwed?
I ordered 14” LOP and just want to know how easy it’ll be to reduce that if needed.
I rarely get on my belly, so I typically prefer the same “high” height. I see you also mount your scope further to the rear like myself, thus putting the face higher on the comb. I’m hoping the highs rings I have work since they help clear the windage knob from spent brass with the scope mounted...
Please do! Is the recoil pad glued, or screwed so that you can add/subtract the spacers yourself?
I ordered with 1 additional spacer installed to test the longer length, assuming I could adjust it back down if needed. However, it recently dawned on me it’s not specified whether the spacers are...
Seems like all pics have been at the standard 13.5 LOP… Has anyone utilized the 1/2” spacer system yet?
Does the recoil pad allow one to easily add/remove spacers or is it glued on?
I’d like to give the longer LOP a try with the tighter grip/trigger distance.
Reviving this old thread to add washer specs for anyone who later reads this and needs them.
The small washers to be added for a plastic bottom metal are:
6mm ID x 9mm OD x 1mm
Style# 4807-0609-1000
2 stacked in front, 2 stacked in the back (4 total). They fit snug, and are perfectly flush...
I’ve got a bottom “metal” and recoil lug but I need some receiver/action screws for a Tikka T3x Lite.
Just the front and rear screws. Preferably screw heads in good condition (not stripped) that haven’t been loosened and retorqued multitudes of times (less stretch).

Faxon 14.5 Mid Length Gunner Barrel with pinned and welded Streamlined Flash Hider.
Nitrided chrome molly AR barrel, chambered in 556. Overall length is 16". It has the slim .625 gas block diameter. The flash hider has a .620 diameter so you can still add/change gas blocks even though it's...
I use the Lv 7 pants in a LWCG .5 hang on. Kind of difficult and bulky to put on in a little stand like that but it’s doable. They do lose loft fast if you pack them tight in a bag repeatedly. Still usable and great ROI for what they are. My biggest gripe is that they are noisy, so you have to...
Outdoor Research Ferrosi Hooded Jacket; Mens medium
Used but great condition overall. No obvious signs of wear.
These are by far my favorite softshell/wind shirt jackets when highly active in cool/cold weather . Check out some of the backpackinglight tests that show the ferrosi jackets are the...
