Howa Mini Rifles, Builds, and Upgrades

[eLightfoot]

Seems like the US market doesn't get to see those models. People from New Zealand and other countries have talked about having them (ss versions) but the US doesn't consistently get SS models of the Mini Action. I doubt that will change just because of a new cartridge.

Brownells has had them before

Correct in the 7.62x39 and 6.5 Grendel but not in all calibers. Just as the short and long action versions do not have SS in every caliber in the US. It would be nice but I wouldn't design a rifle build based on getting one.

Man I’d love to get my hands on a stainless action. I want to make a short 338 arc bolt gun.

I wonder if they are limited runs - could have sworn they had stainless barreled actions (7.62 x 39) this spring/early summer.

Very well could be. One guy said he bought 9 of them to make rifles for friends and family.

Can anyone confirm if the Timney trigger for Howa 1500 fits the mini action? Guy at the range today said it does.
