Tikka T3 .223 Magazine Modification
I'm not sure if the link below will work, but Rancho_Loco over at the 24 Hour Campfire has modified a magazine from a Tikka T3 .223 to allow cartridges with a longer OAL.

If you follow his thread to the end the conversion failed to perform.
However, it was what inspired the solution I came up with that can be seen in the aftermarket thread.
Currently I'm working on producing the solution for Tikka owners.

What? You're kidding, right?

They look big because they are very close, just like the cows in the field look small because they are a long way off

For those who want to single load- you can easily adapt your existing magazine to allow it. Presuming you have tried to with the original magazine only to find it jammed. My original magazine I now use for single feed only:

Hey all,
I know this is a long dead post but just in case people are looking to do this mod now as I have, I thought I'd post what appears to be an updated mag style, meaning the modifications necessary are slightly different ( and much easier ).
The pics should explain the process. Basically theres a metal insert which form fed lips at the top , and the bits off the back just need to be trimmed down ( make sure you leave enough on the bottom one to bend it up so it still catches in the mag – when you look in there you'll see what i mean). The only thing now is that the slide is a bit short , so will plastic weld some material on the rear of it to take the slack out of it until i can get a spare .308 one which should be big enough to make fit.PS don't bother stuffing around with screwdrivers to poke out those two little plastic pins at the bottom of the mag to split it , just grab the top/bottom and twist and they'll come apart- its plastic not glass.

Where did the metal insert come from?
