New Howa Mini Action Floorplate

[Castmaster]

Prototype Howa Mini Action floorplate from Shot Show 2024. It sounds like they will be available to purchase and available on rifles towards the end of 2024.

About time.

About time.

100% agree, no need for magazine mods anymore to make the rifle not so awkward to carry.

About time.

My exact thought. They waited too long though…I now have a Tikka .223.

Nice. Will be interesting to see which rounds they will make it available for...or if they'll make even make note of that...the 350 Legend is an odd duck. Hopefully they'll make them cartridge specific and allow a bit of room to play with seating instead of spacing the freedom out of the mag box.

I’m glad they got around to doing it, these mini actions seem to be getting more and more popular but everyone agrees the magazine is the first thing that needs upgrading. I’ve been coveting my brother’s for a while now, As soon as these hit the shelves I’m going to get one, ideally in 6 ARC

Did they mention what a possible price point would be?

Hopefully they’re backwards compatible and available for purchase as an accessory.

I didn’t ask so idk.

They said they will be available to purchase individuality.

Awesome.

I saw it was silver and though maybe they will sell the Stainless ones in the USA, but those all look blue. A guy can dream.

I have the Oregon Gunsmithing hinged floorplate on my Howa 6.5 Grendel in a Stocky's VG carbon stock; it is okay, but sometimes is really finicky to load and the last round tends to want to nosedive. I imagine these will be better, at least I hope so.

Is Howa making these or someone else? Will they allow longer than SAAMI coal?

Howa Mini Action Bottom Metal. I have really liked my bottom metal from Jefferson Outdoors.

Sounds like Jefferson Outdoor is going to do a stainless look hinged floor plate as well.

Yep, really, really good stuff. Paired with a Stocky's it changes the mini from an awkward rifle to a slim, trim death wand.

FYI the stainless mini actions are coming! Brownells has a few in stock!

Come on Stainless .223 mini action with a factory floor plate.

Now if they would do a "youth" package and offer a shorter LOP stock. My kids would probably all start with the howa mini at that point.

I have the full size 1500 in .223 with a 9 twist and B&C stock. I’d gladly move that for an 8T .223 mini with flush bottom metal. Stainless of course.
