Those look awesome mate, it's a perfect match!
I've just made another batch and the shrouds and handles are nearly all gone!
Hope you're enjoying the parts.

Postage to the US is $20 for fully tracked international shipping.

I've currently run out of Pineapple style bolt handles, but I've got Grooved Titanium and Swept Ball handles in stock.

No Titanium bolt shrouds in stock either.

More items may be machined in the near future.

Hi guys,
SORRY!

Sorry sorry soooorrryyyy… I don't get notified of posts/replies, but I do get notified of emails/pm's. I have replied to vinrockin96, and will get him sorted with a swept ball handle.

The handles have been going well, and a second batch is on the cards.

I have sold ALL pineapple bolt handles, and for those that worry about how rough they are… well it is similar to a Surgeon knob – no one's complained about those, and I personally sit down with a diamond file and file every edge and corner, and THEN I run wet and dry over them – finishing with 1200 grit on a jig I use on the lathe.

The Pineapple ones have all sold which tells me that they're the most popular too, I use one myself on my 308 tikka varmint and it's a great grippy knob.

If the store on here would want to sell them, I'd be down with that, if anyone needs to contact me PM obviously works best, but I will try to fix up the notifications for posts on the forum.

Titanium bolt shrouds have been requested, and so I may have those to offer in the future too.

John.

I'm new to this forum, but have 2 Tikka T3's which I have done quite a bit of work on. Recently, I have produced some CNC machined bolt handles – some are made of Titanium, the other out of Stainless and Aluminium. I had batches made of each so people can buy them off me if they like them too. They suit all Tikka T3's, all Calibers, Left AND Right handed actions (the swept handle gets bent for RH or LH). I'm obviously Left Handed so that is why the handles are all shown as left handed, the Titanium models can be used in left and right handed rifles, the swept handle has to be bent to suit one or the other.

Just thought i'd post here because people were talking about different handles available. The swept handle can even be supplied un-bent (straight). The thread on it is a standard 5/16×24 Thread as found on many bolt knobs. The aluminium ball comes with the swept handle.

The swept handle is also available in full black finish (Cerakoted the whole thing).

Let me know what you think!

I'm a leftie too, and I have 2 Tikka rifles in aftermarket stocks (a PSE and a Manners).

As some stock makers do not offer left handed models, I have thought about this myself.

How I would go about it:
Mark out the notch as best you can using measurements of the existing notch onto the left side.
Using a file (or saw or dremel if you're careful enough), make the notch until it matches the existing one or turns out how you want it.
Test it with the bolt (dry fire with a snap cap if possible to prove the notch isn't interfering).
File the RH side notch to roughen it up, if possible slightly 'key' into the walls of the notch with a dremel.
Using some decent tape, mask over the notch, leaving the top open. Mask the inside too, just to be safe.
Using Devcon, fill the RH side notch up, be sure to over fill rather than under fill, as you can file and sand it later.

Yes you might need to paint the stock if it's turned out really messy, otherwise the devcon will be strong enough to give the stock some strength in that bolt cutout area on the RH side.

Paint isn't expensive really, even a small bottle of Cerakote goes a long long way (and you can use the Air cure version if you don't want to bake the stock).

Thought i'd offer those words as I hadn't seen any responses…
