Tikka stock query

[Lloyd90]

Have picked up a wooden T3 stock as wanted to put my T3x into it, just wanted to try a nice wood stock, aesthetics n all that.

Anyways there’s a slight difference, both my T3x (223 and 6.5) bottle plastics and my T1x bottle plastic have this bit protruding that there’s a hole for on the T3x stocks, but not on the T3 wood stock.

Thought I’d ask on here before I start amending anything …

Aftermarket bottle metals don’t appear to have it … so any idea why it’s there?

Options, cut it off … or drill a small hole on the T3 stock to fit it…

If your confident to mark and drill it in the right place to depth etc. That's what I would do a small hole out of sight is better than taking something off which seems likely to be a locating or strengthening piece should you want to return it to the other stock (prior to sale for example).

i have seen a few stocks where the small pin has been remove and the bottom plastic fits and function with out issue.

Chop it off
Doesnt do anything other than locate in the plastic ones

Just clip it off and file it flat. You have to do this if you fit a GRS stock.
