Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Howa Mini Barrel Contours

I thought the mini came in three barrel contours, 20” lightweight, 22” standard, and 20” heavy/threaded. But it appears this may have just been in the original release, with 1-9” .223

I want a 1-8” 223, and would prefer a 20” lighter barrel, but I don’t know if that was ever offered.

Does anyone have a good handle on what contour and length the 1-8” 223s are offered in?

Thank you!

I have the 6mm ARC 22" standard contour.
I can't measure it at the moment but it dropped right into the Bell & Carlson stock made for the standard contour.
I'd get the 22" and cut it down as you need it.
I think Big Stick cut his down to 19"

I don’t claim to know all the options, but I thought there were only two. 22” standard contour and 20” heavy.

What I thought too; at least what I found before grabbing my arc. OP, I can measure the 22” for you if you let me know which measurements you need.

When they came out, there was a 20 inch featherweight sort of barrel but I gather, they quit importing it...

I have several of the 22 inch barrel, with mine being 1 in 9 twists., standard contour.

It originally was offered in 223, 222 Rem and 204 Ruger...

I ordered 3 of the 22 inch barrel models in 223, from Darrick in Owensboro KY, when they were sold for $299.00
One for a disabled veteran buddy and I kept the other two. All three were consecutive serial numbers.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. Sounds like a 22" standard contour is the way to go at the moment. Will cut shorter as needed.
