Tikka T3X Metal Bolt Shroud Features The Tikka T3X Metal Bolt Shroud replaces the factory plastic shroud with a solid metal piece adding durability where it matters most at the rear of the bolt. This part covers and shields the firing pin assembly keeping dirt moisture and field debris from working their way into the bolt body during hunting or range use. A metal shroud also tends to hold up better over the life of the rifle than the original polymer piece resisting cracking or wear that can develop with age or rough handling. Because this is a factory correct component fitment and function match what a shooter would expect from an OEM replacement part. What makes this shroud particularly useful is its compatibility with both the T3X and the earlier T3 platform allowing owners of older Tikka rifles to retro-fit the upgraded metal shroud onto a bolt that originally shipped with plastic. That cross compatibility extends the useful upgrade path for T3 owners who want the improved durability without replacing the entire bolt assembly. Installation is a simple bolt disassembly task for anyone comfortable performing basic maintenance on their rifle. The Tikka T3X Metal Bolt Shroud is a straightforward way to improve the durability and feel of a T3 or T3X bolt.
