Tikka T3/T3X Bolt Shroud UL – Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium & Titanium Upgrade

Upgrade your Tikka T3 or T3X with the ultra-lightweight HVHA Bolt Shroud UL, precision engineered for shooters who demand maximum weight savings without compromising strength, reliability or refinement.

Designed as a premium replacement for the factory polymer bolt shroud, the UL model is available in two lightweight material options: hard-anodised 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminium weighing just 9 grams, or ultra-premium Grade 5 titanium weighing approximately 15 grams.

Every Bolt Shroud UL is precision machined on advanced 5-axis CNC equipment to ±0.01mm tolerances, ensuring exceptional fitment, smooth operation and premium finish.

An integrated stainless steel anti-rattle spring minimises movement and eliminates unwanted bolt shroud noise, delivering a noticeably smoother and quieter bolt feel.
