    Ive ordered the factory metal bolt shroud and installed it on my t3 sl. Does anyone know if the t3x stock are interchangeable with the t3?

    Stocks are inter changeable.

    If enough people complained maybe Beretta/Tikka would send out replacement springs.  Like with the bad-design/placement of the A1 QD swivel hole on the stock, if no one complains… ???

    Beretta Australia are very hesitant to address this issue at all even when Gunsmiths working in Gunshops report it.

    None of mine where bought new, as I fun a CTR/T3X hybrid with a shortened barrel. I run it hard and fast on feral pigs. When you shoot upwards of 90 pigs a day a problem that is their will become apparent.

    A spring change? Part number? ???

    Not so simple…. Requires resetting with heat as well. When I've got them 100% field tested reliable then I'll tell all.

    Update!

    A spring change with a reset has fixed the problem!

    I've had the same issue with my CTR 308 mag…

    If you guys are leaving rounds stacked in the mag during travel or storage it will render the spring useless The spring does not like to be compressed with max rounds and it will loose it compression over time.
    Especially if left fully compressed for long period of time…load to 9 rounds and empty completely after use and it will prolong the spring…i'm on my 3rd mag and this is helping. Stupid I know, but I'm tired of buying CTR mags…

    Another issue with a very expensive Tikka gun mag…at some point they are going to have to address it or it will hurt rifles sales.  It is a weak point on this rifle…and they rust soooooo easy…make sure you oil and wipe them down if they get wet.

    Yes the springs are absolutely crap!

    I've started a bit of a change in Australia and folks are taking mags back to dealers and getting replacements so it's far from an isolated issue.

    I have also had a local smith look at the issue and he has sent me some new springs to trial. These should address the problem and if they work I will let folks know.

    He got fired as described as his company was/is anti gun. Was big news in Aussie shooting circles.
