Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 6.5 Grendel Mini Howa

I installed the floorplate in my grandson’s 7.62x39 a few weeks ago. Took a tiny bit of fitting with the factory stock. Mine dropped right in the factory, but was a bit difficult when I changed to the OG stock. It feeds perfectly, fast or slow with 3 down and one in the chamber, but loading it is a little challenging for Grandpa’s old fingers. It’s a tight space.

I've got 2 of them. I bought 1 on a deal from SAS and then a few weeks later found one with a heavier threaded barrel in camo on clearance at SW for about $350. My oldest is 10 now and gets to hunt big game this year so I bought an MDT LSS chassis that I'll put the lighter barreled one in for him. It will give him the ability to adjust the stock.

I have a load for my AR grendel with 129g ablrs over 8208xbr so we'll start with that and if the howa likes it that's what we'll use. I'll probably just put a 6x SS on it for him.
