[QUOTE="DirectDrive, post: 2784359, member: 116300"] These Howa Mini's are getting some very nice aftermarket support. Here's some Howa Mini intel that I've gathered : I bought a barreled action from Brownell's in 6ARC and 22" sporter barrel. At the time, I didn't know about the $125 off March coupon. It's $125 off of $500 in FFL items. [B]MARCH125 Trigger[/B] I was amazed that my stock HACT trigger was breaking cleanly at 2lbs (1lb-14oz) The first stage is very soft and then once at the wall it acts like a single stage. If I was a two-stage hater, I would love this trigger. The 3 position safety is stiff, hopefully it eases up with use. Oregunsmithing (OGS) offers a modified Timney for the Mini [B]Bottom Metal[/B] The stock polymer is not great.....one would want to back way off action screw torque to avoid cracking the "bottom metal". As previously mentioned, OGS and D.I.P. make replacement bottom metals. [B]Jefferson Outdoor[/B] makes the best bottom metal for the Mini, IMO. J.O. offers a hinged BDL type, a blind ADL type and they are the only one AFAIK that offers a bottom metal that [B]allows the use of CZ magazines[/B]. I have a BDL version inbound. J.O. is a small one man shop in NoCal and you sometimes have to wait for his "batches" to get done and ready to ship. [B]Stocks[/B] The only synthetic stocks for the Mini that I know of are : Stocky's carbon fiber - 2nd's are available at a discount OGS - these may be the nicest ones - love his Oregon Brown color option Bell & Carlson - these are available for sporter contour and HB contour I bought a sporter, Dark Gray/Black Web and it was a drop-in fit. My Mini will be about $1000US when done. And that's not too far off of retail for the carbon-stocked Mini. These are reported to be fitted with painted Stockys carbon fiber stocks from the factory.
