Tikka T3 action in a Manners 4a CTR stock

[Esfromny]

Have a tikka T3 Tac and just purchased a Manners T4a stock. Unfortunately, I received a stock for a T3 CTR instead for my old T3 and wondering if I can get the T3 plain action to work in the CTR cut stock ? Smart thing to do is to return stock and get right one .. problem is, they have none in stock for the T3 action. Any thoughts

Only the floorplate is different. The actions are the same.

Thank you for reply. Would a CTR bottom fit the t3 action and cycle properly the rounds ? This could be a solution ...

https://www.atlasworxs.com/collections/frontpage/products/atlasworxs-bottom-metal-dbm-tikka-t3-ctr might be a better option, and run AI mags.

The CTR action has an addional piece milled out under the action between front of the mag inlet and front action screw hole. 5 min job on a mill or if you are ok with a small hand file. It's too clear the top of the mag follower ramp on CTR/TRG mags. It has no effect on being able to swich bottom metals and run AICS style or CTR mags. The Atlasworx dbm is the easiest fix to your dilemma.

I have two different unmodified T3 actions that I've used without a problem with the CTR bottom metal. You should be fine, but you'll probably need to modify your bolt stop for a little longer throw.

Thank you all for the great feedback. I read all comments to suggest that the T3 action with the manner’s t4a CTR stock will work IF I change the bottom metal to. a CTR (either OEM or third party enhanced, like atlas) and then slightly modify (potentially) either action or bolt stop

Pics show milled recess on bottom on factory CTR action.

Thank you for the pics dino67 ... am I reading your earlier comment correctly that if I go with Atlas BM I will not need to touch the action ?

Atlas or mountain tactical are your best choices.

I have, as do some others, factory CTR bottom metal and mag if you need one
