Tikka Nitriding

[Nine Banger]

Wish I would have seen this-

Nitride on the screws for the UM rings made them brittle and some broke at proper torque. That is why they stopped nitriding.

I went 60 inch-lbs on the dovetail clamp screws and 35 inch-lbs on the first set and it worked out.

I'll be putting another set back together pretty soon and the third set will probably lay idle for a minute.

I'll report back if anything pops.

DLC an option?

Isn’t DLC slick? Or do you just mean the head for aesthetic purposes?

Dlc is slick, but isn't everyone paint penning now anyways? Idk if it'd have affect on clamping consistency and holding strength. I guess just use a black paint pen on the reads and screw heads. Hard to tell if anything has moved tho.
