Tikka Nitriding

[NSI]

Do you put a few rounds through the barrel first (folks mention doing that to knock down machining marks) or just do the fresh barrel?

Tried it, no difference. Do run a rod through to catch any debris though.

H&M charges $350 per batch of parts correct?

I assume you’re happy with the nitrated bolts?
Is that all stainless steel or a mix?

@Procision Arms can you share any details you may have found while making the raven?

In regards to nitriding? Yes, we feel it’s an improvement on actions. There is always the debate of chromoly vs stainless and how they should be treated, but with our preliminary testing on nitriding we haven’t seen too many issues.

A lot of the things we’ve seen have been touched on with thread quite a bit- making sure all critical tolerances are cleaned extremely well, and the final finish is extremely hard and durable- post-nitride machining is very difficult.

Overall, we feel it’s worth it and and offer it on our receivers.

There was talk above about what type of steel Tikka uses for blued and stainless actions and also their bolt body. I was just wondering if you might know since you’re designing a very similar action and bolt.


Thanks! Will the Ravens action and bolt be nitrided? Can you share what steel the Ravens action and bolt are made from?

The Raven action and bolt will both be nitrided.

We will eventually share the steels used, but unfortunately not until it’s on the market.
