6ARC Tikka

[AZ_Hunter]

I posted a pic earlier in the thread of the tikka 6arc in an echo. Liked that setup a lot actually. But wasn’t totally convinced with the tikka mags and the 6 arc and… my rokstok came in so…. Took it out of the echo and put it in the rokstok. 3rd M+ worked ok. The extended length Ms didn’t work at all. So I went all in on a AICs botom metal and mags. Just got it all assembled today and cycled a few mags through of the 5 rd AICs mag with primal 6br conversion kit and the 10rd MDT metal 6 arc mag…. And I really like it! No issues so far. Plan to get it out this weekend and see how she does.

- Tikka chambered for 6arc by Kampfeld 16” preferred barrel
- Rokstok
- Redsnake nextgen short action tikka AICs hunter bottom metal
- AICS 5 round 308 mag with primal conversion kit to 6BR
- MDT metal 10rd 6arc AICS mag

That’s sick

Super cool build. Give us some details on the bottom metal install. One page says its designed to fit the stock inlet but the instructions state that you have to knock off two little ribs on the inside and potentially widen the inlet.

Would be a no brainer if you could successfully swap back and forth.

You do have to fit the interal of the stock inlet to the bottom metal. I used a dremel. A little more involved than I expected but it wasn’t too bad. It’s definitely not a straight drop in. But you also don’t have to change the overall inlet diemensionally externally on the stock if that makes sense. You remove material internally for the the part of the mag well that extends into the stock a little to fit. They have a video that’s does an ok job of showing what you do. And you do have to remove the ribs or the AICs mags themselves wont insert all the way. I’d think it’d probably still work with the original bottom metal but I didn’t try it
