Tikka trigger diagram

[elevatorman]

Does anyone have an exploded parts diagram or internal parts diagram of the Tikka t3x trigger?

I'm looking at my rifle and see no reason why removing the dumb bolt locking pin to make my rifle alot safer to load and unload while the sears still blocked from moving by the safety. Externally it only engages the bolt and has no safety benefit. Just wanted to review a diagram of the inner workings to be sure there's no internal role it plays and see the easiest way to pop her out with minimal disassembly. I'm positive there's no external safety benefit, Timney makes a replacement trigger lacking the bolt lock pin altogether. I'm 99% sure there's no internal connections. Just want to be sure.

From the outside pics it looks like pulling the circlip off the safety lever, sliding it out to the right, then pulling lock pin out, reassemble in reverse with the spring in its home too. Am I missing anything? I'm hoping it's removable. I'd rather do that so It can be put back vs grinding the top off.

Update:

This works perfectly. The bolt locking pins optional as far as a functioning safety goes. Took me 5 minutes to remove it, no permanent alterations, it can be put back in in 5 minutes if I ever decided.

Just pull the safety lever spring off, use snap ring pliers and remove the circlip off the safety lever, slide the safety lever out some (not all the way) remove bolt lock pin, push safety lever back and put the circlip and safety spring back on.

Now my Tikka operates just like my remington 700. No need to put a live firearm into fire just to load and unload it. Much safer. Not at all concerned about a bolt coming open walking, never has happened in 20 years and if it did I loose one cartridge.

This is maybe the only thing I don’t like about my tikka. Might need to do the same

I'm pretty sure that pin physically blocks the firing pin from traveling vs just relying on blocking the sear to prevent inadvertent discharge of the firearm.

It does not

It's nothing more than going into a small recession milled into the bottom of the bolt. Has no interference or touching of the firing pin at all

Tikka t3 triggers are a slightly simplified version of the Sako 85 trigger. In the 85 there’s a linkage that can push down the bolt lock via a button. It acts as a 3 position safety basically.
You can actually put the 85 trigger in the T3 if you mill out a small spot in between the bolt and the safety.
