Looks good Travis, these Howa 1500s have my interest, but now I may need to look into these minis. I would like to pick up a 223 that I could later upgrade and rebarrel. So I have a few questions:
How did MtnBoomer go about shaving down the handle?
Would these actions be considered nice enough to rebarrell down the road?
The mini would require a different inlet than stnd 1500 S/A, No?
Are you considering threading yours for a can, or is the bbl too thin?
