UM Tikka Bottom Metal

[deerhunter628]

The first body is being cut this week. As far as testing, we will fire the highest pressure round possible to see what happens. Of course it will be fine, tons of guys have lightened their own actions using less than precise tooling.

Not sure on price yet until we get the machine run time this week. I will post weight savings, pictures, and lead times just as soon as I have the info here in this thread.

I will be watching this. I have a custom Tikka order in with you now. It would be awesome if i could get this done during the build so i dont need to ship it back to you.

Any updates on weight savings? Can’t imagine it’s that much, but happy to be proven wrong.

We've also began work on a modular Tikka bolt, more details to come.

This made my ears perk up.

@Unknown Munitions are you working on a 3.560 aics mag in the future??

Anxiously awaiting details

UM is becoming what Yenko was to the Camaro.

Any update on this? Hoping it will be available buy late summer to use in the field this fall.

Any more details on the modular bolt? I'm wondering if it will be possible to eventually have a Tikka built with the rokstok and um bottom metal but use the switch lug from WTO so I can have one rifle to run a 243 AI and 204 Ruger?

I am just hoping to finally get a left handed .223

Forget aics mags, make a bottom metal that works with Sako double stack flush mags.

Sounds awesome in theory, I wonder if the tikka action would feed well from the double stack mag?

I have no idea either, but dang that’d be sweet if it did.

 

[Dunky]

anyone have the action lightening done yet, and if so how did it turn out as looks/function/etc ?

 

[Hunter609]

I did, turned out awesome

I'll be interested to hear if the ejection trajectory is affected at all with the top opened up, I was curious about that aspect.

Didn’t have any issue with the first 120 rounds through it

I'd be curious with that also with some of the scopes like the sofa, lrts, etc that have giant windage caps and can cause problems.
