Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

Function over looks… But ya that thing is ugly lookin. Did the gun come with the coveted red card??

Yes it did, with everything checked off and signed. However no one actually called and went over those specific aspects, including the fact that I ordered it cerakoted black to match the Nitrided action.
Looking back, that request was not actually on the invoice, so someone missed including it at some point.

It almost looks like there was enough diameter at the end of the barrel to thread it 5/8"x24 to start?

I've always has good luck with UM customer service so I'd be curious what they say.

Good luck!

Action looks great.

Action is sweet. Super smooth. Cuts are nicely done.

The diameter is .673 right before the adapter, which I’ve seen @Formidilosus show 5/8x24 threads on a barrel diameter of less than that with a direct mount suppressor.

Maybe the right call is to send it back to them, have it cut back an inch and thread 5/8 & cerakoted

I think I might send mine in this spring. Really like that. I have a 6.5cm and a 243 at a gunsmith now getting threaded. I have to pony up some money for a suppressor now.

I assume you were wanting something like this from kampfeld customs. (Not my pic)
