tikka bottom “metals” and AICs mags?

[mahonsr]

Help me out with Tikka bottom metals.

What I have:
- Tikka in 6 ARC (standard bolt bushed for proper case head)
- Rokstok inletted for tikka standard bottom metal (which I hopefully receive soon)

What would I need with this setup to use AICS mags for 6arc? Like the MDT AICs mags for 6 ARC? Or any others

I haven’t decided on what the “best” mag option is yet for the tikka on 6 arc

Waters Rifleman has a bottom metal for AICS mags but some fitting is required.

I have used that one and can confirm that it will fit the factory inletting just fine. I ended up moving away from it as it was on a hunting rifle and AICS mags rattle too much for me.

I was thinking about doing this as well on 1 of my rifles. Did you try the polymer mdt mags? I use those un my XLR and they are pretty quiet. Curious how they would be with this bottom metal.

I also found this mentioned on another thread - primal rights 6br AICS conversion kit. Converting a standard AICS mag to 6br type which is also compatible with 6arc. I guess my real objective is the best mag option off a 6arc in a tikka standard bottom metal inlet

The AICS conversion kit you mentioned was exactly what I was looking at as well. If I end up committing to a Tikka 6 ARC, this is probably the route I'd go. I don't really care for a 10-12 round MDT mag. Converting a 3-5 round AICS seems better in my mind.
