tikkamark Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I was wondering did anyone have the same problem i have just returned from my firearms dealer which is a good 150 miles away from me after collecting a new tikka .223 but forgot the allen key for the screws on the top section of the mounts they seem to be an oddball size 2.7mm and no other key will tighten them fully anyone any solutions that would save me a trip back?

Cyber Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 don't know if this will work for you but when I have been in the same kind of situation, try getting an allen key that is slightly too big and carefully use a file to file a little bit off. It worked for me and surely worth a try before going on a 150mile journey!!! Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisv Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Just wondered if a 7/64" key would fit, assuming you can get hold of one, mine measures 2.74mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRDS Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Try a few different Torx screwdriver heads, has worked for me in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
