Flush 6ARC mags?

[TimberHunter]

Considering something like a howa mini or a Ruger American gen 2 but the long mags are holding me back because I often times hold the rifle there.

Anyone know if a good solution? Ruger takes AR style mags but couldn’t find a 3 round AR mag

I do believe you can swap out the mag for a traditional bottom metal style set up on the howa. Otherwise, magpul makes round limiters for their mags.

There's a fairly easy mod to the factory 5 round that makes it a nearly flush 3 round. I don't remember exactly how long it took me, but I'm certain it was less than an hour. The bottom plate slides off, and there is a rib placed just right to cut the portion off below it and slide the plate back on. I cut it a little long and sanded it off a little at a time to end up nice and snug with no rattles.

Here is one way to do the Howa mag chop.

For those of you that may be interested, figured I would post the modification I did to my Howa 6.5 Grendel. Magazine will only hold 3 now, but fits nice and flush with the bottom of the magazine well. First I cut the magazine just above the engraving below the first rim and sanded it flush...

I do not have a comment on mag length but I went to Scheels the other day and the display had Tikka rifles right next to the Ruger Gen 2. I cycled the bolt on both rifles several times going back and forth. They felt very similar.

If that’s a 6ARC, what kind of velocity are you getting with what bullet/barrel length?

It's the stock 20". 2550 from factory 108 ELDM and I've got a mild load that matches that almost exactly. Kids' gun, no need to chase velocity.

That's the process I used.
