The MDT CORE Bottom Metal for the Tikka T3/T3x long action in black swaps a Tikka stock over to AICS pattern magazines, so you can run whatever capacity you need (MDT part no. 115004BLK). It is designed for smooth reloading with AICS magazines in a range of stocks, and the ambidextrous magazine latch works equally well for left-hand and right-hand shooters. The trigger guard is wide enough for both factory and aftermarket triggers, and the bottom metal works with the MDT Adjustable Magazine Latch for fine-tuned magazine fit. It is a straightforward upgrade for hunters and precision shooters who want more magazine options from a Tikka build.

Key Specifications
