How to swap Tikka .223 1-10” for a 1-8” barrel?

[Pharmseller]

I have a stainless T3 Lite with a 1-10” barrel. I prefer the heavies these days and she doesn’t stabilize them. Instead of buying a new Tikka I think I’d like to just swap barrels. I’ve never done anything like this, what’s the process?

Just mail it to Unknown Munitions.

Easy peasy.

The barrels pop up here, JA outdoors, and eBay (many times from JA outdoors) semi often if you’re patient enough. I snagged one from here recently that was cut and threaded already.

You could have a barrel made to your specifications from PBB for 500 bucks

JA outdoors has a blued compact barrel

I'll have a stainless t3x lite takeoff for ya in say 30-45 days if ya want it.. Or, just buy a new rifle with the great online sales and Tikka rebates available and sell yours to someone who wants to shoot varmints with 55s. Stainless lites were selling for barely over $700 before the $75 tikka rebate. Betcha can get rid of yours for not much less.

Yeah I'd buy a new rifle and sell the one you have before I paid $500 for a barrel and pay a 'smith to swap it.
