A super-strong and ultra-light bolt handle and tactical knob combo for your Tikka T3.
Oversized bolt knob made from genuine carbon fiber, with the bolt handle CNC machined from Grade 5 Titanium Alloy. This handle and knob combined weigh just under 1 oz (28.2 gm) - less than the original factory steel handle. The dovetail is designed for a tight, zero-tolerance fit into the mating slot of the Tikka T3 bolt body to ensure a secure and positive lock. The carbon fiber knob is a suitable non-glare matte finish for all the hunters out there, however the basket weave pattern is prominent. During the course of its lifetime, any cosmetic scratches to the knob can be polished out and the knob will look like new again, unlike anodized aluminum which scratches and stays scratched.

Installation/Fitting Guide - The Tikka T3 bolt handle is dovetailed and slots into a mating slot in the bolt body. The shroud needs to be removed first followed by adjusting the firing pin assembly.
**Notes on Tikka factory tolerances ** This part may not be a 'drop-in' fit for your individual rifle. Some minor fitting may be required. There exists variations between individual rifles of the slot dimensions in the bolt body that the bolt handle slides into. The angles of this 'dovetail' will vary between individual rifles. The Lumley handles are machined in this critical dimension to tolerances of +/- 0.025mm (+/-0.001") and they verify these dimensions for every single handle before they are packed using EDM-cut go and no-go gauges. Variations like this are common with mass-produced factory rifles, in the majority of cases the Lumley handle will slot firmly into the bolt body with minimal movement, however, in some instances, minor filing or stoning of one or both angles of the handle will be required to see it fit. Bear in mind that you are purchasing a handle that has been machined to be a much tighter fit than the mass-produced unit that your rifle came with. If in doubt, take it to your gunsmith, or contact us and we'll be happy to walk you through how to fit it yourself.
