I’ve replaced 3 stock knobs/bolt knob adapters and they have all just unscrewed with a tiny bit of effort plus a hex wrench to remove the stub.
Just swapped out a 22" Heavy Palma for a 20" proof.
Saved 4 lbs of weight.

I was finally able to stretch her legs at 300yrds.

It was such a pleasure to shoot.
When getting a shouldered pre fit you could put it on either a long or short action? I.e. you have a 7saum barrel on a short right now and want to run them long so you go buy a long action TL3 in order to run the freedom seeds longer in the case, and it all works just fine
I do not believe so. I think the TL3 short action is different and the TL3 long action and Origin are the same. I know I have seen them listed in prefits that way. @bohem and insight?
Yes the origin Short action and the TL3 Long Action use the same prefit Tenion Length.
I use a TL3 LA on my 6.5CM so i can load long and mag feed.
ORIGIN Short tenion = TL3 Long tenion
TL3 Short tenion is different.
Just to be as clear as I can be.
The tl3 short action is the only one that’s different and is a shorter tenon because it accommodates the aw mags increased footprint in the action.
All the rest of them are the same origin/tl3 long tenon.

Forgot about this thread - added another TL3 to the safe recently.

Here we have a Ti3 in the wild with a 16.5" 223 barrel spun on to it 
With the magnesium chassis and D3 printed grip…
Can honestly say Ive never seen a .222 build since everyone knows the 223 but it’scool and different to see something that’s a little bit of an oddball to most people.
I’ve got another iteration of my build coming along , switching up the 308 for a 223 for tac division next season.
Just finished slapping this together for the upcoming deer season. It'll go in a Manners Pro Hunter next season to drop a little weight and then this stock will get built up with a 6.5CM Proof Carbon Prefit on another TL3 action and topped with a ZCO 420 or the new 2-16x for NRL Hunter. It came in at 10lbs 1oz as she sits without mag/ammo, bipod or can.

Guess I should add the newest barrel added to the TL3 for this thread. This is the PVA 26” 7 twist Comp Contour with flutes in 6mmARC. Just shot it today and it’s a blast. Low recoil and accurate.
Yeah they are amazing! @bohem and crew do a great job on the fluting so anyone interested in it check out PVA!
I’ll repost when I have better pics. My recent build:

Since I posted photos of 8 of my 10 TL3s in another thread, might as well post all ten here.
He needs one in a stock to avoid getting Monkey Pox….

Picked up a new March 5-42x56 so moved the T6Xi from my 6 PPC XLR folder (which is waiting for a new 6 ARC barrel) to a gas gun and put the March on. Went to the range yesterday AM for a few minutes to test out the new scope before the crowd getting ready for the hunting season showed up. Shot a few quick 5 shot groups at 100 yards and got lucky with one group. (caliper zeroed at .243)
