Will Tikka come out with a 6 CM soon???

[Jimbee]

I have a tikka factory lite .243 barrel threaded 5/8 at 16". I think 1/2" with an adapter would be preferable.

 

[Kaleb]

How would that be preferable over 5/8 and a shoulder added? Not arguing because I have said I have mostly 1/2 threads without a shoulder but going forward it makes more sense to me to use 5/8 with a shoulder rather than using a 1/2-5/8 adapter. Like I said it was/is a non issue with cans that I could just swap out the HUB on but those that its not an option why not just thread for 5/8 add a shoulder and not use the adapter? When thats an option.

Agreed.

Diameter of the shoulder? Does it prevent some OTB suppressors?

 

[Kaleb]

Not if you keep it 750-770

I guess whatever is cheaper is preferable to me, assuming both would work.

What is the ID of OTB suppressors like the OG 6-S /OG 6.5? I know they say it fits over a .750 barrel, but is that just a rule of thumb for keeping a bit of space there, or is it barely sliding over the barrel at that point?

Its tapered, so the .750 is at the muzzle but more like .8xx further back. I was able to screw a og6s onto an 18" ace 3b, but juuust barely.

If they say it then roll with it? Trust them it will work and/or trust they'll make it work. Plenty of other things to worry about

 

[Kaleb]

Do you already have this barrel and suppressor or is this all hypothetical?

I do. Its tight on the 3b, but does fit.
I can try to get a caliper on it later or tomorrow (probably tomorrow)

I’m not worried about it. I like to know tolerances. The main reason I was wondering was in the event of putting a shoulder on the barrel for 5/8 threads. If it can go bigger, then I can machine a larger shoulder. If not, then I won’t.

If you're machining your own shoulder you have more knowledge than talking to a guy like me...grin. Double check with UM but I'm pretty sure they've said 750-770 maybe even a little more than that.

 

[Coopsdaddy]

What magazines are these coming with?
I have a tikka action and 6cm barrel getting thrown together but have not looked into mags yet as I haven’t decided on stock but leaning towards a McMillan.

 

[WhoGarrDen]

Factory Tikka 6cm use M+ magazines.

Edit: These are NOT AICS mags.

Tons of these just started popping up.

I don't see anything new there that hasn't been available the last several weeks. Waiting on the regular stainless lite models to come back in stock.
