It's too bad Howa cheaped out so much with their DBM rig. I was hoping the CZ metal would be a bit longer, but whatever, I dig the rifle but it'll get the JO metal BM soon enough.

Sorta like buying a 700 Rem knowing you’re going home with a box gun that will need modifications to make it better. But the net cost, out the door, is a lot better with a Howa 1500 than a 700. As an aside…Anyone thinking that Stick couldn’t have been a world champion at playing Mr. Potato Head is high af. He’s a fabricating phenomenon. Lol 🦫

If retention is the focus would not the Jefferson blind floor plate be the crown jewel (other than being out of stock currently)? 3 down vs 4 down is a drawback I suppose... Ordered a mini ARC from Brownells the other day and currently eyeballing the blind option for my purposes.

I'd rather search a second for a mag latch,than hunt for however long,trying to retrace a dropped mag(which likely can't be found). BT/DT,with more than a few platforms and FHUQK that. Fhuqk Teekers in particular,unless AICS or CTR fed. Hint.(grin)
Dude,your Gen2 BDL bottom is sensational. Very WELL executed and everyone I know will be driving same. Prepare for some OT. Hint..................

I sold out of everything I had in the store over the weekend, definitely a first. I figured that last run would hold me until more material arrived but I was wrong. I have double the material for another run incoming.
I expect to be spending some late nights trying to feed the demand for a while.

For sure. From the pics here the JO stuff looks top notch. Cool to see a maker put out good stuff at a good price. Completes those Minis just about perfect.

Chris at JO sent me an improved mag latch that eliminates the need to file a notch in some of the 3-shot CZ mags (like mine). Replacing that is on “the list”. Haven’t had an issue with retention yet, but haven’t been on any snowmobiles either.
Meanwhile, the JO Gen2 hinged unit is due to land here Friday. I like the looks…….

What's the recommended barrel chop length for a 20" HB model to get better balance? I have both a 22" lightweight model which balances great mid stock and a 20" HB model that is really front heavy.
