Tikka T3 Question

[walshie 2,804]

I have a Tikka T3 lite in .223. I'm pretty sure the standard mag holds 4 rounds. The website isn't clear as there are so many options.

 

The other night I could only get 3 rounds in there. Am I going mad or is there a problem?

 

Cheers.

I normally only stick a couple in it, but I THOUGHT I used to be able to put 4 in the mag. Must be going senile.

About once a week normally.

 

 

In that case I would see a doctor...................... you may have dementia!

Sorry. FAC holders only need reply. As stated, I normally just stick a couple in the mag, but in the past I have filled the mag and I THOUGHT it held 4.

 

FFS.

You may not be for much longer, what with dementia setting in.

I have no idea what is going on here, I have a T3 Lite Stainless .223, about 8 years old now.

 

It holds 4 in the magazine, Fact, end of, just tried it in light of the comments here. You can of course load one and make a total of 5, but the magazine hold 4.

 

This is the Standard magazine, a larger one is available and holds 6-7 I believe.

Thanks Deker. I hoped I wasn't going mad. Is there a reason a 4 round mag would suddenly only hold 3?

Do you reload? Hace you been extremely careless with resizing your cases

I have no idea as I have never had a T3 mag apart, but it does seem odd.

 

Out of interest the T3 .243 mag does only holds 3, plus 1 in the chamber, total 4

There is a copy mag available which holds 7 in 243
