Ya. Anyone that pays a gunsmith to install a TT probably also purchased a condo and drives a Toyota Tercel
I would appreciate that. Thank you.I can take a photo for you tonight when I get home from work. But it's pretty much described above. Just two pins.
Thank you for that. I understand this operation can be simple (to paraphrase the Geico commercial....even a caveman can do it...) but as you just pointed out has to be done right otherwise.....it’s done wrong. And thus my initial request. Appreciate it.The TL3 trigger pins are held to a tight tolerance. Do not force them in....they will go in easy when you have them perfectly aligned then you can use a punch to finish them off.
I've heard horror stories of guys beating their pins in with hammers and damaging their TL3 action and the pins...
It’s not a TL3 nor a TT, but I believe the steps are the exact same. At least they were installing my Timney into my TL3.
Altus will ship barrels within 3-5 days of orderJust got my Bighorn TL3 action in today, and must I say it is a work of art . But now to get it up and running, does anyone know of anywhere that has shouldered pre fits in stock or low lead times? I saw that PVA has 14 week lead times on barrels and I will do that if I must but it is going to certainly delay my shooting ?. Any advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

@reubenski I am going 6.5 CM, thanks for the offer though. I will call some places like people have suggested and see whats out there, I am feeling more optimistic now!
Waiting for my TL-3 (left)S/A from Altus as well. They said it should should ship out the end of March. Ordered a PR 22" carbon 6.5prc prefit. Still shopping for a heavy steel tube in 6.5 creed for plinking. Going to use the PRC for hunting if I can get it to shoot solids.
Still waiting on the proof. Haven't got a confirmation on their expected shipping date. Got a call today from Moon at crescent customs and he'll be shipping out my 300prc rebarred Savage by end of this week so that should keep me busy till April ??Are the proof TL3 prefits shipping yet? Thought they weren't going to be shipping til April?

Pretty much just Lego'd it together, huh?
Lol. Yup. Just like you had said. I picked up one of the RossPrecision barrel vises and used that to get the barrel on to about 40-45 ft/lbs. Going to run that torque for a while and see how it does with cold and heat or if I need to go more or can get by with even less.

True. Most barrel MFR’s reccomend the 80 ft/lb torque for their barrels. I’ve got mine going for a switch barrel type setup. Planning on testing (like several of the guys on here have) the different torque settings and ease of removal and stuff. I can easily torque to 40-45. More than that I think i would need a hitch mount or bench mount setup.I was told by my gunsmith who chambered my prefit to do 80 to 100 ft/lbs on my barrel. /shrug
Yup. My only concern is the temp changes and heating and cooling of barrel maYep, anywhere in that range should work good. That's what I use with my Ross vise.
Paperwork that comes with your TL3 states 70lbs for shouldered barrels. 35-45lbs is for nut setups.
Does it matter? Idk but all my shouldered barrels on my TL3's are 70lb and nuts 40lb
I am building a lefty too!
What stock are you planning to use?I am building a lefty too!

Don't worry about it. I've shot mine from below freezing temps up through hot summer days, slow fire and getting barrel super hot. Barrel is not going to come loose on you or shift around.
So I got a box of ammo down the barrel and break in is done. Having mag problems though. Rifle came with a 5rd Accurate Metal mag and trying to use that mag and have it feed feels like I'm trying to close an action full of sand and gravel and the brass has some nice scrapes from feeding out of that mag. Switched over to my magpul 10rd AICS mags and those don't want to seat and when I can get em to lock in place the bolt rides over the rounds half the time. The magpul 5rd mags work fine. Got home and tried the magpul "fine tuning" like MPA has a video of with shaving a little material here and while now they lock into place fine, they still have same feeding / bolt over the rounds issue. So I think the TL3 with AW cut I got isn't going to run with the magpul mags... which sucks... cause they've worked in every other rifle/chassis I had... So that leads me to metal mags and what magazines are ya'll using and having best luck with. My setup is TL3 AW cut in a "new" MPA Comp Chassis. The chassis has no mag well screws or anything either. Any luck with the MDT 12 round mags? Those look interesting to me for having an extra round available. Ya'll let me know what you think or if you don't want to reply on here just shoot me a private message. Thanks
What caliber???
I have zero issues running AICS, ARC and MDT 13rd in my TL3, MPA or TL3/ACC or TL3/Envy setups in 6.5x47L. AW will not run in the TL3/MPA but will in the Envy...
I'm running AW in the TL3/MPA so it comes down to trial/error and being able to tune you magazine feed lips to the gun. AICS, Accurate, ARC and AW have all worked for me at one time or another.
Idk. Never ran Magpul mags. ARC mags have been 100% consistent with x47L as well as AICS in the TL3/MPA BA.
