Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Howa Mini in 6 ARC

I kinda dig the stickiness of it. I don’t care more/less for camo but it is tacky feeling.

Made me look....but I was disappointed...

Sorry bout that JM. Should’ve looked before I got your hopes up!

You are a MEAN Fhuqker! Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!............

Action screw tourque? Both 50 in-lbs or?

The OEM Dog Schit plastic bottom metal,is fhuqking tender. I'd go easy on TQ and call Wayne,for replacemen. Hint.............

I like the idea of the cz bottom metal too that takes the cz magazines. Haven’t really made my mind up. My mind is made up on ordering the Timney from Wayne though.

Now that I'm happy with my Wayne's World BM, (thanks again to 'Stick for guidance) I need to do something about the OEM stock. Budget always being a consideration, I'm eyeballing the Stocky's CF seconds, but not sure if the barrel channel is up to the job.

The barrel on my 300BO measures .855" 3¼ inches in front of the receiver and tapers to .755" to the muzzle of it's 16¼" barrel.

Anyone know what the barrel channel is like on the carbon fiber from Stocky's?

You may want to hold off just a bit on your decision. Chris@ Jefferson Outdoor is expecting his latest rendition of hinged floorplates back from the anodizing soon. The mag box on those is the same as his blind box, 2.450”. He’s run 140gr Match Burners in his Grendel and hit the rifling at 2.375.

The site doesn’t specifically mention the ARC yet, so I’d call before ordering to make certain you have an exit route on anything that doesn’t work out. From my contacts with him, I doubt there’d be a problem, but best to have that up front.

Thank you.

Interesting.
3 down.

except Dave's has no rust on the barrel, the action and the scope rings...
guess he hasn't washed out the chamber in the creek after shooting salmon for dinner...yet..

Shefire's HILARIOUSLY very WELL founded Insecurities,reminded me that Jefferson Guts & Mags are enroute,which will give her yet more to vicariously "live" for...the "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

R&D never ends. Hint.

What kinda COAL outta the CZ mags?

2.3 something or other in .223. No problem for my use. I wanted metal mags with good retention and reliable feeding. Got it.

A new improved mag latch that won’t require filing on some of the three-round mags is on the mail, sent free by Chris at J.O. Appreciate that. If I ever buy another Mini, J.O. stuff will certainly be on the possibles list for upgrades. With a theee-rounder in place, it looks pretty much like a rifle with a floorplate.



BTW, while futzing with the barrel channel on my Carbon Mini, I used the old bread bag fastener trick to increase clearance. Wasn’t quite thick enough to totally float the barrel, but it did make enough difference that I went ahead and sanded it out properly. Problem solved. However, the slight difference that piece of plastic made in the relationship between the magazine and the action resulted in the bolt often passing right over the top round instead of picking it up. If I pushed up on the mag, no problem, so it’s a narrow window. Once reassembled without the shim, feeding was fine again.

Thanks Pappy. Certainly like metal over plastic anytime I can get it.

I can't know,until they get here,but plan on hating them...just like all other things CZ. Hint.(grin)

DBM's are easily adjustable in ride height and I'd simply open feed lips up,to get more bolt nose on case heads. That's DBM 101,no matter the Maker. Hint............

It was worth a shot

I was going to jump on the band wagon, but I can wait a couple days for you to verify.

Same here

Worse comes to worse,I'll give it all to a pard,as several like the Mini Howie in 7.62x39 for Boat Guns. Sea Otters HATE it. Hint................(grin)
