My brother has a Tikka that misfired twice in the field on the same cold morning and subsequently missed an opportunity on a 50 yard deer. I live in Alaska and researched the net and found this video made by Corlane's, his very own nieghborhood sporting good store in Dawson Creek. He brought the gun in and they resolved the issue for him no charge. He headed out the very next cold weekend and nailed a nice Mule deer, no misfire what so ever. Thank you for helping my brother out Corlane's!

You would think that those folks that make Tikka would know better than to use a lube that causes this problem in cold weather considering that they come from Finland. Their country’s not known for its tropical climate and the factory rep has said, in another video, that most of their employees are hunters whom one would think would’ve encountered this problem themselves. I just traded my Model 88 Winchester .308 for a Tikka T3x .270 left hand action, and some cash, with me never having heard of Tikka, or having fired the rifle so I appreciate your informing me of this potential problem and cure.

@@alexkmoz By the law Kangaroos are technically a protected species and therefore not allowed to be hunted except under certain circumstances such as; 1) Being a traditional owner of the land (Aboriginal people have a right to hunt on crown land as they have for 1000s of years before white man settled Australia, Kangaroo is a staple part of their diet.) 2) For pest control under a damage licence (as you said Kangaroos are of abundance and can cause severe damage to crops so they can be culled by a land owner with government permission) 3) If you are a professional shooter/hunter and sell Kangaroo products, whether it be for skins or meat either for Animal or Human consumption. There are some strict rules which regulate this industry including passing a shooting competency test and specific vehicle fit outs for hygiene purposes (stainless steel ect) and each shooter is issued an amount of tags for each carcass based on a local assessment of Kangaroo numbers in the area. E.g they cannot shoot past their quota and cannot sell un-tagged meats. 4) Any other government Authority such as contract shooters/vets or police may destroy injured or dangerous kangaroos. Although these rules are in place Kangaroo shooting is a popular past time among many Australian shooters regardless. The meat is tasty and they make for decent target practice.

Clean salts off inside and outside. Clean off salts from the storage bag/box. Salts can be from unburned/burned gunpowder, hand sweat, dirty storage surfaces. Salts plus humidity plus steel plus time = rust. Even many kinds of stainless steel would rust with salt water. Store gun in low humidity, good ventilation. If you tied everything already, try a new, different oil. What you are using may be contaminated.

Gun stainless steel is different from normal stainless steel found in kitchen knifes that are rust proof. All gun stainless steel will rust without maintenance. I use light steel wool and oil to remove rust . Use renaissance wax on the outside of barrel ,action ,lever or bolt wherever you touch it to prevent rust. Gun oil will rust your finish because it wipes off and evaporates. Where renaissance wax is petroleum based won't wipe off or evaporate even in the rain. That's why people use it on hand guns to prevent rust.

Came across this problem last Fall before a trophy bull elk hunt and fortunately watched this video and remedied the problem before going on the hunt. Happy to say the hunt was a huge success with the critical help of your information and walkthrough. Thank you!!
I’m picking up two T3x’s tomorrow. This was great to know. Thank you.
Great tip brother. Gotta do this on my Tikka. Here’s a tip for you: don’t let brake cleaner get on your skin. It’s nasty nasty carcinogenic stuff. Also, you can use it to kill cockroaches with a few squirts.

Thank You Sir! Your site is in my favorites. I got 3 Tikkas since this was the second time. I had a stuck bolt last time and broken shroud this time. Now I will be cleaning the other two bolts.
Good stuff...never would have known to do this, Thanks!!
Nice job breaking it down into details like that ! Subscribed 👍 Just got a new T3X Hunter in 7mm-08 . I will do this for sure ! Great engineering work for Tikka , not needing any special takedown tools to field strip it all the way down like that .
One word of warning from a mechanic, brake clean is highly corrosive to rubber and plastics. Long term use will wreck the non-metal parts

Aren't you confusing it with brake fluid ? Brake fluid is corrosive, not brake cleaner. Also no rubber nor plastic parts into the bolt
Great video, I love in Ontario and have order a few firearms from Corlane’s over the years…great service and speedy shipping keep me comIng back to them! I’m picking up a tikka t3x lite today in .270win and this will be first thing I do! Cheers 🇨🇦🤘😎
Thanks for the info, I just got a T3x Forest in .308 and I love it !
You would think that those folks that make Tikka would know better than to use a lube that causes this problem in cold weather considering that they come from Finland. Their country’s not known for its tropical climate and the factory rep has said, in another video, that most of their employees are hunters whom one would think would’ve encountered this problem themselves. I just traded my Model 88 Winchester .308 for a Tikka T3x .270 left hand action, and some cash, with me never having heard of Tikka, or having fired the rifle so I appreciate your informing me of this potential problem and cure.
Just bought a new Tikka; thanks for the tip!
Just picked up 2 t3xs, glad i found this before we started shooting- thanks
Great tip. Extreme cold weather in Canada will freeze oil into thick molasses and jamb everything. But don't substitute with any corrosive chemicals! In the military, we would sometimes go dry, but wear and icing condensation is a problem.
This can happen to any brand or style of rifle. Good maintenance is paramount to hassle free shooting. Excess oil and grease is the #1 cause of firearm failure. It freezes and collects dust and grime, powder residue.
Please make a note that is is for right handed bolts. The left handed bolt turns to the left not right.

Generally most hunting is conducted for pest control reasons (Non native introduced species) such as mice, rabbits, foxes, certain types of birds, wild dogs and cats, donkeys, pigs, camels, buffalo (wild cattle) and in certain circumstances Wild Deer is also hunted but this generally is a more controlled situation with licenses ect.

@@alexkmoz By the law Kangaroos are technically a protected species and therefore not allowed to be hunted except under certain circumstances such as; 1) Being a traditional owner of the land (Aboriginal people have a right to hunt on crown land as they have for 1000s of years before white man settled Australia, Kangaroo is a staple part of their diet.) 2) For pest control under a damage licence (as you said Kangaroos are of abundance and can cause severe damage to crops so they can be culled by a land owner with government permission) 3) If you are a professional shooter/hunter and sell Kangaroo products, whether it be for skins or meat either for Animal or Human consumption. There are some strict rules which regulate this industry including passing a shooting competency test and specific vehicle fit outs for hygiene purposes (stainless steel ect) and each shooter is issued an amount of tags for each carcass based on a local assessment of Kangaroo numbers in the area. E.g they cannot shoot past their quota and cannot sell un-tagged meats. 4) Any other government Authority such as contract shooters/vets or police may destroy injured or dangerous kangaroos. Although these rules are in place Kangaroo shooting is a popular past time among many Australian shooters regardless. The meat is tasty and they make for decent target practice.

Clean salts off inside and outside. Clean off salts from the storage bag/box. Salts can be from unburned/burned gunpowder, hand sweat, dirty storage surfaces. Salts plus humidity plus steel plus time = rust. Even many kinds of stainless steel would rust with salt water. Store gun in low humidity, good ventilation. If you tied everything already, try a new, different oil. What you are using may be contaminated.

Gun stainless steel is different from normal stainless steel found in kitchen knifes that are rust proof. All gun stainless steel will rust without maintenance. I use light steel wool and oil to remove rust . Use renaissance wax on the outside of barrel ,action ,lever or bolt wherever you touch it to prevent rust. Gun oil will rust your finish because it wipes off and evaporates. Where renaissance wax is petroleum based won't wipe off or evaporate even in the rain. That's why people use it on hand guns to prevent rust.
Just an fyi, as a woman it’s not really possible to “use a bit of strength” and pull the pin out, but an Allen key put inside that little gap gives a good grip that I was able to handle easily to finish the job. I’m sure there’s plenty of guys who didn’t have an issue with this, but if it makes it easier why not do it?
Always clean all oil off trigger and bolt .
