Thread: Re-barreling an old Tikka M76

Gidday folks, asking for a friend..

I’m looking for some direction on sorting out a Tikka m76 .308 that’s not shooting well, as the barrels pretty tired was going to first shorten to 18” and recrown.

Failing that, does anyone have any experience with this firearm. I understand it’s of the 1960s era. Ideally an easy to come by .308 modern tikka barrel will suit refitting but doubt I’d be that lucky.

Can anyone provide the receiver tread size and or any relevant knowledge to re-barreling recycled parts? I am aware many smiths would fit a new barrel but trying to come up with the most cost effective option. Will either way be an 16-18” shooter for a 50-300m hunting rifle.

Would also be interested if anyone has an original magazine or work around for a rather bastardised original that’s currently a pain.

Thanks in advance
