Gunsmithing Tikka T3 Tenon

[Blackice55]

What’s the tenon length on a Tikka T3 pre-fit? I’m thinking about having black hole weaponry thread a 1-16tpi barrel in 6 creed and just getting a bug nut or I guess any barrel nut to install. I don’t want any threads showing.

I would think the Tikka has metric threads.

It doesn’t its 1-16TPI

When I did my Tikka awhile back I made my tenon .980” in length. From the front of the action to the extractor on the bolt measured .988”, so there’s .008” of clearance.
