t8 mod

[lofty95 0]

i was offered a t8 mod off a .243 and was told that it will fit my .223 527 when i have it threaded. Im not particularly familiar with mods so am not sure is this possible, can anybody shed some light on this subject

Yes it will fit ok, as the .223 is a smaller bore than the .243.

i have a T8 on my tikka T3 223 also had a T4 on a Winchester 223 not much difference noise wise, just remember to take it off every time you use it, also give it a squirt of WD40 then leave it on top of a radiator to dry off

The T8 will have a black nylon bush at the rear which will have been turned/drilled out to the correct diameter for the rifle it was previously fitted to, unless by a fluke (or it is exactly the same rifle

just a different calibre and the barrel is the same diameter), it will either be loose on your CZ if the barrel is 'thinner', or will not 'do up' fully because your barrel is 'fatter'.

So you will probably have to get a new bush made or the old one bored out to fit.

But your main point regarding 'swappage' between .243 and .223 no problem at all.
