Tikka T3x magazine for Long Action

Tikka T3x magazine for Long Action

Most likely fits:

• 6,5x55 SE
• 270 Win
• 30-06 Spring
• 7 mm Rem Mag 
• 300 Win Mag
• Probably more

Observe, I uploaded this because it was requested many times. but I'm not so sure this magazine is a good idea 3d-printed. The walls are thin and long making it very hard to get it stiff enough. Its nothing I can do about that so please don't give me bad reviews if that is a problem.

This is a hunting magazine. Use it as a replacement or an extra magazine .

Look at my other hunting magazines:

Printing

The hard part about 3d-printing magazines is the soft materials we are using. The upper part of a magazine needs to be as stiff as possible, otherwise the sides will bulge outwards and the feed lips will not be able to hold the rounds correctly when the spring pushing from below. This was true for the other tikka magazines and is an even bigger problem with this one.

You can try PLA-CF but I think that PPA-CF or maybe an even stiffer material is needed (if available sometime in the future).

The spring is best in metal, reuse an original spring (best), cut an AR spring to length or create your own. I have provided a spring that can be printed but be aware that it will most likely not last very long. It needs to be printed in PETG or a similar material. PLA will not work for the spring. In a good PETG it can last for a season or two if not stored with rounds in the mag between uses (but the springiness will be less and less with time). With a 3d-printed spring it can carry maximal 3 rounds. PC-CF is otherwise the best material I have been using for springs if you have available.

Assembling and after work

As I want the magazine to work as good as possible, in as many rifles as possible, I have designed some things with minimal marginals. So you might need to modify the body a little bit so it fits your gun perfectly.

1. The forward lip outside of the magazine is intentionally designed a little long so without modification it might not fit. You need to take a sharp knife and cut it a half mm between testing until the magazine fits perfectly in your gun.
2. The feed lips above is designed to keep maximal with material for stiffness and durability. So they might need to be sanded a little bit from above for the bolt to move freely when the magazine is inserted into the gun

Assembling the magazine is quite straight forward:
