Ive never sanded carbon fiber. Will that compromise the carbon fiber layout or the epoxy holding it together?

I’m not sure if UM/Stockys uses one barrel channel and hogs them out or if it’s a different mold for each barrel channel.

From what I understand one mold for tikka then the barrel contours are milled out afterwards. Either way its very easy to open the barrel channels on these I've modified two. There is only a small amount of carbon shell that's actually removed the whole "inside" of barrel channel is raw fill no matter the contour

I’ve got 2 and will be selling 1 if I can get an order in.

I’d be interested depending on the details. Feel free to PM me when the time comes if you want

The inside of the channel is filled with not carbon so just carbon at the edge. It was easy, wrapped 60 grit around a socket and shaped the channel then did 120 and 240 then finally 400. Turns out great.

Has there been any mention of what time these go on sale tomorrow?

I have a related question I’ve been curious about.

I’m ballin’ on a budget so I swap 3 Tikka barreled actions (6.5 PRC, 223, and 22LR) into the same stock/scope setup.
Would bedding the stock be a benefit or a potential issue in this case?

I bed the wood stocks with my shop rifle. I've measured a bunch of Tikkas and they're very consistent. +/- .001" consistent for action width.

I put .002" scotch tape on the vertical side of the action. this gives the bedding room for shrinkage and action width variation.
tight bedding on vertical surfaces when unnecessary is not ideal. The most benefit from bedding is the support it gives the bottom of the action and recoil lug.

I swap my Tikkas around all the time testing stuff. if you witness mark your screws, they hit torque at the witness marks nearly every time and pretty much return to zero also.
