Found the answer on another forum.
Tikka barrel has a 25mm shank with 1.5mm thread pitch.
North American `smiths have found that a 1 inch shank with 16 pitch threading also works.
1 inch = 25.4mm
1/16 = .0625 inch; 1.5mm = .0590 inchSo looks like the conversion from metric to inches is close enough for a lathe without metric indexing.

Can't you measure the muzzle diameter on your rifle?
Why do you want a front sight on your T3? Just curious.

Just wondering what the 'issues' were with the SS barrels that you refer to. My T3 has the same finish as yours but I don't know when it was manufactured.

That looks like an adjustable cheekpiece to me???
Another difference on the super varmint maybe the forend piece added on to make it wider. -

Another version of DIY using Sinclair die lock rings for weights on a 5/8ths flare fitting.
Haven't tried this one yet but as stated in an article on tuners, any tuner might be better than no tuner at all. -

On my T3 varmint rifle the trigger weight is 12 oz. with no trigger spring at all.
It seems like the geometry of the trigger parts with the pressure from the main spring requires 12 oz. to trip it.
This was just an experiment. I found a lighter spring to put in and the trigger weight stayed at 12 oz.
Sweet it is! -

Don't forget to try a tuner. A tuner can take a .325 group down to .125 at 100 yds.

Sounds good.
Just wondering if you have made any trigger adjustments and what you think of the trigger.
Hope you enjoy the Tikka. -
