MDT CORE Bottom Metal Tikka T3X Short Action Right Hand - Black

The MDT CORE Bottom Metal transforms the Tikka T3X short action platform into a precision rifle system capable of accepting AICS-pattern magazines. This upgrade eliminates the limitations of factory plastic magazine systems while maintaining the rifle's inherent accuracy and reliability.

What Makes This Different

Unlike factory bottom metal that restricts shooters to proprietary magazines, the MDT CORE system opens up compatibility with the entire ecosystem of AICS magazines. The machined aluminum construction provides a rigid foundation that enhances feeding reliability compared to polymer alternatives. Installation requires no permanent modifications to the rifle, preserving resale value while delivering immediate performance improvements.

Key Features

• AICS magazine compatibility for enhanced capacity and reliability
• Machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
• Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or permanent modifications
• Precision-machined magazine well ensures consistent feeding geometry
• Compatible with Tikka T3X short action right-hand configurations
• Accepts standard AICS magazines from 5 to 20-round capacity
• Matte black finish resists corrosion and reduces glare

Field performance shows marked improvement in magazine changes and feeding consistency across various ammunition types. Competition shooters benefit from faster reloads during precision rifle matches, while hunters appreciate the ability to carry spare magazines loaded with different bullet weights. The aluminum construction maintains zero shift during magazine changes, critical for maintaining accuracy in tactical applications. Weather sealing prevents debris intrusion that commonly affects factory magazine systems.
