Tikka T3x action screw replacement help

[isu22andy]

I stripped the front action screw head when torquing my tikka t3x . Stupid mistake . Frustrated chasing an accuracy problem on 7 rem mag using cheap tools . I checked the local hardware store but the screw head is a little different taper or shape . Does anyone have a replacement on hand ? Will pay for you to mail it ? Or know where I can pick one up ? Also recoil lug has a little dent in it from the rifle do I need to replace it or is it alright ???

I have an extra set, I’ll send you them. Shoot me your address.

The dent in the lug doesn’t matter, but if I can find the extra one I have I’ll send that too.

I don't believe that screw is the front action screw its an accessory location for adding the larger forend. The front action screw is just in front of your mag release.

Mudflap is right. That screw you stripped is just an accessory screw and not for the action.

Do you need that third screw?

Anyone know the thread pitch of this?

Don’t feel too bad, I did the same dang thing a few months ago.

I took the rifle out of the stock , you actually dont need the screw . Sure is annoying looking at that empty hole though .

I had an accuracy issue with a well used 270 T3. I found it had a dented recoil lug, I reversed it and accuracy returned to prior levels. I bought new steel lugs. The T3X should have a steel lug, I’d be surprised if it dented so soon. Wonder if you got an old aluminum lug by mistake? If it is the same issue, the dent is trapezoidal looking.

If you're talking action screws, they are M6. Not sure what the threads are of the screw the OP had issues with but it looks more like the plastic stripped out on that one.

I’m in search of the front accessory screw. Where did you get the spare at?

You can get action screws at Mountain Tactical and I’m sure other places as well.

It isn't a necessary screw at all unless you want to add the wider forearm. Just plug the hole with some black epoxy and call it a day.
